She looks very...German. Blonde hair, stern face. Was she genetically engineered from 'Aryan' blood stocks and infused with V?
She's a walking contradiction. She's a lesbian, lives together with her partner from Sri Lanka, adopted two sons, employed a Syrian refugee as a cleaning lady...but is a leading figure in a far-right party that is against all of those things.
She also lives in Switzerland, you could call her an economic refugee.
She's actually swiss though.
Mountain Germans with a weird accent.
Simply not true, historically. Switzerland has long been a cultural and ethnic crossroads between France, Italy, and Germany, which is why their official languages are French, Italian, German, and Romansh (a regional language).
This lie was, however, commonly repeated by the Nazis to try and justify an invasion on nationalist grounds.
Yeah, well I'm not a Nazi. I just like taking the piss out of people with a funny accent.
Never said you were, but there are quite a few of their propaganda efforts that simply became accepted "truth." Calling blonde haired and blue eyed people Aryan or German, for example, even though we have plenty of evidence those traits exist in non-Germanic peoples.
Tina Turner was Swiss. I rest my case.
Check twice before you use the term Aryan. The 'real' Aryans were not those blue-eyed, blond-haired viking type 'old' germans. The Aryan type originally was used for central asian people plus ... PLUS ... the 1st scripts bout those were from indish vedes. So most not only german pre and post WW2 Aryans are simply barbARYANs. ;-P
