Cami is a cutie.- Andreea Diaconu
Am I the only one who thinks she looks a bit like Catrinel Menghia? Not her body necessarily, but her face.- Trumpland U.S.A

There are reports in the Belgian media that she is now dating Belgian director Erik Van Looy. A strange couple if you ask me.- Trumpland U.S.A

I don't really expect any sensitivity or deeper intelligence from a model. By which I don't mean to say that those traits cannot be found in models. It's just that the only common trait between them all is being physically attractive enough in a way that you can make a living out of it. So you will get all sorts of people in that group. Intelligence and ignorance, kindness and cruelty, empathy and indifference, ...- Xenia Deli
Wait, she is with a 62 year old guy?- Trumpland U.S.A
Well it isn't a recent development. e.g. Vlaams Belang has been using the fear of mostly North-African immigrants since the early 1990s to their political advantage. Also, Marine Le Pen's gains are more modest than they might appear upon first glance. Back in 2002, her father got 5.5 million votes in the second round of la Présidentielle. Marine Le Pen got 10.6 million in her second round this time around. Adjusting her father's result for the population growth since 2002, he would have an equivalent score of around 6 million votes today. So Marine Le Pen only got 4.6 million more votes than her father, in spite of being up against a political newbie who wasn't a member of any of the traditional parties and whose movement is only a little over a year old. This whilst France has been hit by several terrorist attacks in just the last couple of years.- Luisa Pasinatto
Wow!- Xenia Deli
Well to be fair, I'm guessing that a lot of models would voice equally vapid and terrible opinions if they were not prevented to do so by vigilant agents/publicists/PR/entourage.- Josephine Skriver
Wow, what a picture!- Trumpland U.S.A
Right, but a significant number of those aren't even semi-recent immigrants. If we are talking African-Americans, a significant number of those will have been in American for countless generations by now. In which way are they "different" from the majority, other than in the color of their skin? Obviously their experience will have been colored by racism (slavery, Jim Crow, ...), but they were not asked to adapt to an entirely different culture from the one they were born in, or their parents of grandparents were born in. Unless you trace it all the way back to the victims of the triangular trade. By comparison, immigrants (first, second and third generation immigrants) into Europe from the Maghreb countries is a relatively recent development. This can mostly be traced back to the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. This isn't really an argument against the notion that Europe has its fair share of racists, obviously it does, but more against the idea that the experience of the Muslim-European immigrant can be likened to that of the modern day African-American.- Trumpland U.S.A

35% of those who voted and 23% of the electorate. That's a large group, but not that large, especially since not all of them will have voted for her because they agreed ideologically with her, but more as a middle finger to the establishment. She also only attracted 31% of Fillon voters. I don't see how FN will ever realistically win the second round of a Présidentielle if they cannot even attract more than half of the voters of Les Républicains.- Trumpland U.S.A

It sort of makes sense, because I believe Obama is liked by 90% of Frenchmen, which is a lot better than the score for any of their own politicians.- Katherine Henderson
