Birth Name: Kimberly Noel Kardashian
Birth Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
Date of Birth: October 21, 1980
What Race or Ethnicity?: Armenian, Scottish and Dutch
The American socialite owes her exotic looks to her Armenian, Scottish and Dutch background, of which many high profile men have found irresistible. She once stated that she gets her curves from her Armenian heritage.
Her late father, Robert Kardashian was half Turkish Armenian and half Russian Armenian, and was a lawyer for OJ Simpson during his infamous murder trial. OJ Simpson is actually Kim’s god-father. Kim’s mother is of Scottish and Dutch ancestry. She stated her ethnicity on her personal website, kimkardashian.celebuzz.com.
She says that she didn’t speak Armenian at home but occasionally at family get-togethers. She stated in an interview “Being Armenian is a big part of who I am” and that her grandfather instilled a lot of Armenian culture in her.

For me being from Europe i have always seen Armenians as Middle Eastern.From what i know majority of Armenians are dark skinned some are lighter skinned but not as many.I suppose it depends on where you are from and what you view them as.Anyway i think Kim looks like she could be a full Armenian she got more of her fathers genetics for sure like Kourtney and Rob.

It’s just you, apparently you have never been around or seen an actual Armenian person because my neighbor is Armenian and they have same complexion. Armenians are middle eastern they are not white. Why is it everyone who has a hint of color to their skin looks Spanish? Some of that color is not hers it’s probably a spray tan and lots of make up!
