On her Twitter account, she stated:
I’m Irish, English, and French. People always think I’m a lot of different nationalities though which I think is pretty cool :)
Oddly, Miranda did not mention her one eighth Mexican ancestry. Miranda’s maternal grandfather’s mother, Mary Castimello/Costano/Coseton, was born in Mexico, as were Mary’s parents. The spelling of Mary’s surname varies from record to record.

Miranda’s maternal grandfather was William Frank Casey (the son of William John Casey and Mary Cecilia Castimello/Costano/Coseton). Miranda’s grandfather William was born in California. Miranda’s great-grandfather William was Irish, born in Brosna, County Kerry. Miranda’s great-grandmother Mary was Mexican, born in Juárez, Chihuahua.

Miranda’s maternal grandmother was Lois Ann Core (the daughter of Robert Herman Core and Ida Marie Bishir/Bishop). Lois was born in Oklahoma. Robert was the son of John W. Core and Birdie Harrell. Ida was the daughter of John Bunyan Bishir/Bishop and Effie I. Jones. A picture of Miranda’s maternal grandmother can be seen here.
Miranda’s distant Bishir ancestors were Alsatian German.

quit pounding on her she had a dream and it came true dont hate cause shes got talent and money!
Maybe her “Asian”, or “native”, or “Hispanic” look alike comes from her Russian side, you know Russians are not 100% slavic there are many races there, one of the races in Russia are the Tartars, Tartars are originary from Central Asia and are related to Mongolians, maybe she has some Tartar blood..
interesting theory. Though I still think she looks Armenian.
yeah… it’s def. the armenian look.
have u ever seen armenians? do u seriously believe that they look like asians? funny who knows all of these ethnicities that she belongs to?
I thought she was part native Cherokee or something like that..
This article states she is Italian, Irish and whatever else her dad gave her, but she has that serota look (terd) about her. Many people from El Salvador hide behind other nationalities because they are ashamed to be from a place that has never given the world anything good. Though they did give us one thing it wasn’t good at all. The gang 18st. is the largest gang in the USA consisting of mostly Salvadorians. Oh, just one more thing- Salvadorians envy Mexicans and South Americans with much passion.
