    I am dutch and she looks like she could be dutch in face shape and eye shape but her hair and eyes are quite dark so she could also be scottish, irish, english

    Interesting and rather ironic…Kylie and Kendall Jenner look more Armenian than the actual Kardashians. Armenian girls, who are not as dark as Kim/Kourtney:

    Kim looks very Arab. Kourtney looks like half Filipino. Khloe looks plain European (Romanian, Serbian…)

      you’re right!

      CORRECTION:

      Kendall Jenner (as well as Kylie Jenner) is only white on her father, Bruce Jenner’s, side. Her mother (as well as her three older sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe) is Armenian, which is a country in the middle-east. Therefore she and her sister Kendall are half-Armenian, half-English/Scottish/Irish/Dutch. Just for the record, Armenian is not white, nor is it in europe.

  3. Me myself and I says:

    25% Scottish, 25% Dutch from mom and 50% English (or maybe 48% since there is some Irish) from her dads side so yeah mostly English

    Isn’t her mother of Mexican descent?

    I think when Kendall reaches her prime she’s going to be nicer than her sister Kim. Kim must be so annoyed she didn’t get the tall gene like Kendall, as Kim always wanted to be a Catwalk model.
