she looks mediterranean
i agree
Being European doesn’t always mean being white, the father of Minka Kelly looks like Carlos Leon, father of Lourdes Maria.
I never noticed the Miranda Kerr, and she said earlier about have Filipino ancestry.
They even said, WHITE girls with ancestry non-white minority.
American has culture and its own identity, the people don’t need be identified always as “european” or with “european origin”, I see very eurocentrism in this site.
Will you just shut up already .Minka Kelly and Miranda Kerr are both of European descent this is what the ethnic site is about peoples heritage the only first people of America are Natives. Always trying to make out any European celebrity of European heritage is either mixed with either Asian black or Hispanic or is not European at all.To make yourself believe they are not just white?
Do you even know what ethnic means it means?
An ethnic group is a group of people whose members identify with each other through a comman heritage consisting of a comman language a common culture and or an ideology that stresses common ancestry,The concept of ethnicity differs from the closely related race as race refers to grouping based upon biological criteria while ethnicity encompasses additional cultural factors.
You seem to think that white people can not be ethnic and always put them down on this site you are a self hater.
Who the heck cares if Minka Kellys father looks Lourdes Maria father get out of here with you ridiclious theories.
The last time i checked this site is called ethnicelebs why do you come on if you dont want to see with different ethnic backgrounds and stop spreading your disguisting racism.
Ya America has its own identity and a lot of it has to do with EUROPEANS going over there if you knew history. So there is going to be people with different European heritage over there .Why are you so mad about people some celebs been called European descendants why does it affect you so badly.
She’s very animated and beautiful in her face. Especially when she smiles and laughs. She has a very down-to-earth and endearing quality about her to me.
She’s made Asian type little
This is one case where I will NEVER understand what people think is so “exotic” looking about this woman. I feel like the world is still stuck in 1998 and sees her as Elena from Mask of Zorro.
Why are people even arguing about “zeta”? That is her middle name and that name comes from A SHIP her great grandfather captained and has nothing to do with ancestry -_-
She is exotic looking. You know, it is very much possible for Caucasian women to look exotic (case in point. Also, take a gander at Spanish and Scandinavian women as well!).
I never said Caucasian women can’t/ don’t look exotic. But SHE looks a lot like a bunch of other women I’ve seen from the Great Britain area.
