Miranda Kerr, 2007 to present. Miranda is of Serbian, Iranian, Turkish and Filipino descent but born and raised in Australia. She started modeling at age thirteen after winning the Dolly Magazine Impulse Model Competition. Miranda is also featured in the exclusive 2010 Pirelli calendar. She is also the first ever Australian to grace the runway as an angel making her a shoe-in for one of the top ten Victoria’s Secret models.

I seriously doubt the French… I know a lot of people who claim to be French, and I live in Australia. Apparently a REALLY small amount of the population, like 0.2% are of French background, and unless Miranda Kerr is a part of that, I doubt it.

Get over your self who do you speak the entire world population when you say …”people do not want to believe women of English descent can be beautiful”… because you do not and you would not know what a Serbian woman looked like if she stood right in front of you. As far as I am concerned you have no “taste” Approximately 70% of the world’s natural beauties are slavic included in that a Serbian women! Not plastic fantastic want to be’s!

Miranda Kerr isn’t part Asian at all. She has stated such to quite a few interviewers. Unfortunately it seems to have become quite the habit for people to label racially homogenous indivicuals as biracial or multi-racial. That’s wrong.
There are numerous people who try to claim Rachael Bilson is part Asian, when her father Danny Bilson is Jewish, and her mother Janice Stango is of Italian-American descent. The same has happened to Olivia Wilde, who despite being of Western European heritage, has been branded as being part Asian. Miranda Cosgrove, who is of Italian, Irish, Welsh, Russian, Armenian descent, comes to mind as well.
It’s one thing to claim people the likes of Chad Michael Murray or Dean Cain as being 1/4 Asian, because it is fact, and they have stated such. It’s another thing to keep insisting people who are monoracial, and have set the record straight, are biracial or multi-racial.
I realize that some biracial and multi-racial people want others to be like them, but it is wrong for people to label racially homogenous people as biracial or mult-racial, just to satisfy their desire for the individual to be so.

Caucasian people originally dominated Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. The Mongols attacked and pushed us out of territories that were originally ours.
The country of Armenia falls in Asian territory, just as many parts of Russia and the Middle East do as well. Are Russians, Armenians, Middle Easterners, etc., who have little to nothing in common with people from China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, etc., the same race? No. It just means they are Caucasian people living in lands that are deemed as being in Asia.
Miranda Cosgrove has a Caucasian ancestor that lived in a country (Armenia), which is situated in what is called the Asian part of the Eurasian continent. Miranda has many more ancestors that hail from the European section of the continent. It’s funny that you choose to identify her with a tiny part of her heritage, as opposed to the majority of heritage, which is European. You’re probably one of those mixed people that wants everyone else to be like you. You people are annoying.

How do you know she is 100% Caucasian? Having nothing in common with Mongolian doesn’t mean that there is no possibility she has Mongolian ancestor. I have many friends whose ancestor was African, Mexican, Indian, Asian etc. Some of them mostly have Caucasian figures, but they HAVE non-Caucasian ancestors. I’m not saying Miranda Kerr has non-Caucasian ancestor at all. I just want to say, you can’t tell it by looking their appearance.

WTF I could so many women in Serbia that little Ms Miranda Kerr (I don’t tell the exact truth about my cultural identity) looks like. Miranda Kerr could pass as any Serbian woman or Slav in Europe for that matter. Have you had you’re head stuck in the sand for a while?!

Blue eyed filipina? Seriously, people should know what does a real filipina looks like. Even though a filipino is a half-american or english, most of them doesn’t have blue or green eyes.
