Summer Glau

by ethnic


Birth Name: Summer Lyn Glau

Birth Place: San Antonio, Texas, U.S.

Date of Birth: July 24, 1981

What Race or Ethnicity?: Scots-Irish and German

The American actress is well known for playing Cameron on the series, Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. She stated in an interview that she is of German and Scots-Irish descent. There was some talk that she could be of Asian or Hispanic descent however she denied this.

On another blog, Newspaper Rock the author investigated Glau’s heritage and got a response from a Fox executive. The executive stated that Glau is one eighth Cherokee Indian. However the author considered the possibility of this being exaggerated.

She looks like Olivia Wilde who is also of Scottish-Irish descent. I believe this is where their exotic looks come from. They didn’t inherit that generic overrated germanic/anglo–saxon look from their other ancestors

Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 28 Thumb down 28

Why would they identify as Asian or black if they are only 1/8th or less anyway? That makes no sense. An ancestor of mine from eight generations ago could be from Jupiter. I honestly would not give a damn.

The surname Glau is Germanic. It is not a common surname in The United States or any other country for that matter.
