Cameron Diaz is an American actress, model, entrepreneur, producer, and author. Her roles include The Mask, The Last Supper, My Best Friend’s Wedding, There’s Something About Mary, In Her Shoes, Shrek, Vanilla Sky, The Counselor, and Charlie’s Angels and its sequel.

Cameron’s paternal grandparents were of Cuban descent [with Spanish, including Asturian, ancestry]; her father also had one eighth Spanish-Venezuelan ancestry. Cameron’s mother has English, Scottish, Irish, and German ancestry. Cameron has also stated that she has Native American ancestry on her mother’s side (sometimes specified as Cherokee Native American). It is not clear if this ancestry has been verified/documented. There are no Native American ancestors, Cherokee or otherwise, in Cameron’s mother’s recent and relatively recent family tree.
Cameron’s paternal grandfather was Emilio Cadiz Diaz Jr. (the son of Emilio F. “El Gato” Díaz and Joaquina “Queenie” Cabranes Cádiz). Cameron’s grandfather Emilio was born in Tampa, Florida. Cameron’s great-grandfather Emilio was a Cuban emigrant, from Havana. Joaquina was also a Cuban emigrant, and was the daughter of a man surnamed Cabranes, and of a Venezuelan emigrant, Antonia Cádiz Sánchez, who was of Spanish descent.
Cameron’s paternal grandmother was Gertrudes Lavin (the daughter of Luis Lavín García and Mercedes Duarte Alonso). Gertrudes was born in Florida. Luis was born in Cuba, to a Spanish-born father, Francisco Felipe Lavín, and a Cuban-born mother, Gertrudes García. Mercedes was also born in Cuba, also to a Spanish-born father, Manuel Duarte, and a Cuban-born mother, Mercedes Alonso.
Cameron’s maternal grandfather was William Marion Early (the son of John Winchester Early and Chloe Kendall Allen). William was born in Missouri. John was the son of William Robin Early and Emma Rozella Fusselman. Chloe was the daughter of Charles Marion Allen and Catherine Delcina/Della Babb.
Cameron’s maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Jeanette Waddingham (the daughter of Joseph Herbert Waddingham and Elizabeth Rankin Withers). Cameron’s grandmother Elizabeth was born in California. Joseph was born in Kingston, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, the son of Joseph Waddingham, who was born in North Cave, Yorkshire, England, and of Frances Anna Kels/Kells, who was born in Templeport Parish, County Caven, Ireland. Cameron’s great-grandmother Elizabeth was born in Illinois, to an English father, Richard James Withers, and a mother from Missouri, Nancy/Nannie S. Scott.

I want to specify the fact that race is determined by the amount of carbon someone has. Carbon is essential in all life forms and its wat creates dark and light pigment/melanin. Race is not determined by ones “skeletal features” (wtf?). Their is only black and white or in other words… Dominant and recessive.
As far as Cameron Diaz goes…I dunno wtf she is?!
she is caucasian and it is not about carbons… it is skeletal structure, skin, genetics of admixture J2, IA, so on, eye structure, social construct, European, and status. Not this prejudicism of one drop blood, and Carbon strength that makes normally a strand stable in science, not in DNA entirely!
She’s white, obviously. Hispanic isn’t a race
There are 4 races:white, black, Asian, and native American. Obviously niether of the other 3 dummy
Native Americans are still under the “Asian” (Mongoloid) box
There is actually the 5 races. Some dismiss the 5th because of the Asian genetic line but it was correctly theorized for aboriginal/ red, Caucasian, negroid, Arab, and Asian. Short, genetic history and one gene does not make an ultimatum of race. This is like saying a person can only live off a heart only not including DNA, RNA, and parts. That is why racial profiling and racial extremist are not equal nor will they. Just get over it. she is white.
there are no such things as aboriginal/ red and Arab race
to be accurate, in an interview to Vanity Fair I read she told that her distant Native American ancestry is “Blackfoot”
Yes. She stated at “Inside The Actors Studio” that her great-great-grandmother was Blackfoot.
Cameron’s maternal great-great-grandmothers were:
*Emma R. Fusselman, who is described as “white” on the U.S. Census, as are her parents – https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M3ZQ-B8J
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MXNM-6GR
*Catherine Delcina Babb, who is described as “white” on the census, as are her parents
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MDVD-96Y
*Frances Anna “Fannie” Kells, who was born in Templeport Parish, (near Ballyconnel) County Caven, Ireland
*Nannie Scott, who is described as “white” on the U.S. Census – https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MXNN-4RF
So, no Blackfoot great-great-grandmother.
@follers
Sweetie,you are the Indian killer on this site.lol
I don’t need a proof, I’m just saying that she said :D
That’s what she claimed in the interview I read: to have Blackfoot ancestry
Follers – County Cavan is in the Republic of Ireland so that ancestry is just Irish.
Northern Irish are also just Irish as Donegal the most northern county is actually in the Republic of Ireland. If someone is from Northern Ireland (British part) they are still Irish.
If you follow the Kells line here, at least some of it leads to Scotland, and before that, to England.

The family was Methodist, as far as I can find. So I am not sure that Cameron has any Irish Catholic ancestry.
Follers, the German is there (Pennsylvania Dutch), you just need to go a little farther. No Dutch. No native.
Great job, follers!
There’s no evidence, that Cameron has German and Dutch roots. I always knew that this is just disinformation planted some ignorant people, because of her exotic appearance.
Cameron has not Dutch and German roots
orrection!
It looks like canard also. But she has some deep American roots, so i’m not sure. Perhaps it would be better to remove it (Native-American), untill have found more facts about it… i guess
All you people saying that she doesn’t look hispanic. well lemme tell you that Latin America was created to have people from all around the world (blacks, whites, asians, native americans, indigenous, etc..) you can find people from different colors in latin america.
That’s true!! bur Asians don’t think so…
Yes there are Asians in Latin America, anakaren
…. she isn’t a Latina. Her family has direct Spanish roots. Genetically, there isn’t much difference with Spaniards than any other Western European person. Believe it or not, Europeans are not cookie cutter where we all have blond hair and blue eyes. Some can tan more easily or have olive colored skin. Did you know that there are four different languages in Spain? Three are based in Latin and the Vasco language doesn’t have a known origin. My guess would be it is a Celtic based language, but that is purely speculation being that the Celtic people were in Rome and migrated Northwards. Cameron is basically “white” with a pinch of Native American blood.
She is latina.By the way this NOV.23 2013 you can watch Grammy Latino on the Spanish T.V in the US.You see people like Miguel Bose,Alejandro Sanz who are from Spain participating.Miguel Bose is going to receive an recognition for being one of the best latinos.You can found the video in you tube. Also Don Francisco (son of German Jewish parents) will receive a recognition for being one of the most influential latinos.It just show you that latinos do not care what you think.You can watch it in Univision.Also Cameron Diaz appear in the cover of latina magazine.
If Spanish are not latinos then latín America can’t exist.Latín América is latín because Spain,Portugal and Francesa(who invented the name).Also being white doen’t mean that you are not latino.At contrary latino is a white word.Do you think that mexicans are latino because the Azteca.No,they are because their Spanish white side.
