oh great. Another page like Angelina’s where people are upset because she’s white so they say she’s not over and over again as if that’s going to change her ethnicity

I honestly think people say Minka looks mixed simply because of her skin tone. She has very European facial features, looks very Southern French, and Southern European as a whole. To top that off, her parents are from Europe, and her father looks like a Southern European man. I am not seeing what the fuss is about, or why some of you think she is lying about her ethnicity.

She doesn’t just look southern European she could fit in central Europe quite well. People who think she is mixed are seriously ignorant, she is 100% Caucasian and white looking. If you guys think she looks mixed than you will be shocked to know that half of Europe is mixed! Take this from someone who is from the heart of Europe.

why are you guys always trying to change a celeb’s race or ethnicity especially if they European descent? Saying she looks Puerto Rican is not going to MAKE her Puerto Rican.

It’s not about changing their ethnicity… It’s simply about what people look like.
Well for me anyway, when sometimes I say “oh to me she looked … ” it’s just that and nothing more, sharing what I thought her ethnicity was.

i don’t think she looks Mexican or Puerto Rican. she looks south European. Looking at Antonio Banderas, she has more in common with him w/ her skin tone, bone structure, and facial features than she does a mestizo. But it’s whatever. Saying she looks like something ain’t going to change her ethnicity

why is it that we’re supposed to accept that all of these actors are native american, but for the actors who don’t make those claims, we want them to be something other than what they are?
Minka said several times that she’s French and Irish. Her papa is European even and he’s French. But now you’re trying to say she’s Mexican and shit? That’s bullshit.
you may not like it but they’re some very immature people on here and obvious racism.
So if a celebrity doesn’t make any native claims, they’re lying and must be something else, but if some pale as snow chick says her 8th generation great grandma twice removed was Native American, it MUST be true and she looks it too?
That is some bullshit

You just noticed that? Really? They are saying this woman, who has stated several times that her parents are European, is now Mexican or Puerto Rican. To them, she must be lying.
But when Megan Fox says she has a “little bit” of Native in her, yet cannot even name the tribe, what percentage or fraction she is, and cannot even tell you which parent has this “little bit” of Native, we are supposed to take her word for it.
Hypocrites. Extreme racist double standards.
They even thumbed me down for saying France is not in the North of Europe. It is NOT, and the country is next to Spain. They even share some of the same ancestry.
Of course, you cannot expect anything less from uneducated drones who showcase how ignorant they are everyday.
Whatever. It will not change Minka’s ethnicity.

yeah I knew I would get thumbed down for not conforming to the site’s views. If you call them on their shit, they gang up on you like mad. If you say she looks Mexican or Puerto Rican or Biracial even though she’s not, you get a gold star. That’s sad and yeah it is double standards

And? Minka’s father is Rick Dufay. He is French. Her mother is Maureen Kelly. She is Irish. She has said this multiple times in interviews. Just accept it.

At 3:05, she says it.
I suppose you are going to accuse her of lying now? You tried to lie and say that Dufay was not born in France when it clearly states on his biography that he was born in Paris, France on February 19, 1952, and despite Minka saying he is French in the very interview above.
