You'd be even more surprised to find out that Nico had Turkish blood in her, could speak nearly 6 languages and had a Jewish manager, later on in her career. Even more surprising was her attitude towards Germany as a whole, and the disgust she'd feel at the song Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, while at the same time she would go on to claim that the nastiness she'd get from Lou Reed was possibly caused because of what 'my people did to his people'*. With that sort of permanent state of confusion inside a person's head, it's really hard to think of someone like they are a racist as such, rather than someone who might be using the race card when it becomes an easy instrument to gain some sort of attention. See Bowie too.
