Kim Kardashian, also known as Kim Kardashian West, is an American television and social media personality, actress, socialite, and model. She is the daughter of Robert Kardashian, an attorney who was one of O.J. Simpson’s lawyers at his murder trial, and Kris Jenner (born Kristen Mary Houghton), a socialite. O.J. Simpson was Kim’s godfather. Her siblings are Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian, and her half-siblings are Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Through her ex-stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner, she was a stepsister of musician Brandon Jenner and socialite Brody Jenner. Kim has four children, including singer and actress North West, with her former husband, rapper, record producer, and fashion designer Kanye West. Her niece is Penelope Disick.
Kim’s father was of Armenian descent. Kim’s mother is from a family that has lived in the United States for many generations, and has English, as well as Scottish, Irish, German, Dutch, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Welsh, and remote Jersey Channel Islander and Cornish, ancestry. Kim once stated that she gets her curves from her Armenian heritage. Kim has said that she did not speak Armenian at home, but does occasionally at family get-togethers. She once stated in an interview, “being Armenian is a big part of who I am,” and that her grandfather instilled a lot of Armenian culture in her. In 2019, she was baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church with the name Heghine.
A 23andMe DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2018) stated that Kim’s sisters Khloé and Kourtney’s genetic ancestry is:
*53%-58% European
——–*4.5% French
*41.6% Middle Eastern & North African
The test also evidently stated that the Kardashians have a fraction of Native American DNA, presumably under .4% in Khloé’s case, given her 58% European and 41.6% Middle Eastern results.
Kim’s paternal grandfather was Arthur Thomas Kardashian (the son of Tatos Saghatel “Thomas”/Tom Kardashian and Hamas “Hanna” Shakarian). Arthur was born in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California, to parents from Kars, Russian Empire. The family were ethnic Armenian Molokan Jumpers from Karakale, now Turkey. Tatos was the son of Saghatel/Sam Kardashian/Kardaschoff and Harom “Mary” Varsoff/Yuzbashian. Kim’s family’s last name was spelled Kardaschoff in Russia. Kim’s great-grandmother Hamas was the daughter of Demos/Tom Shakarian and Goolisar/Grace Yesilbashian/Thomson.
Kim’s paternal grandmother was Helen Jean Arakelian (the daughter of John Arakel Mgrditchian Arut Arakelian and Vartanoosh/Rose Miroyan/Mirayan). Helen was born in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California. John was born in Getap, Vayots Dzor, Armenia. Vartanoosh was born in Erzurum, Erzurum, Turkey, of Armenian descent, the daughter of Hovhannes Miroyan and Luciag Chorbajian.
Kim’s maternal grandfather was Robert True Houghton (the son of True Otis Houghton and Mary Lee Pickens). Robert was born in San Diego County, California. Kim’s great-grandfather True was born in Oklahoma, the son of Otis Sewall Houghton, who had deep New England roots, and of Lula Laura Barnard/Bernard. Mary Lee was born in Texas, the daughter of Charles/Charlie Luran A. Pickens and Lizzie/Elizabeth Mae/May/Mary A. Douglas/Douglass.
Kim’s maternal grandmother is Mary Gorden/Gordon/Jo Campbell (the daughter of Gorden/Gordon Lowe Campbell and Lou Ethel Wyatt). Kim’s grandmother Mary was born in Arkansas. Kim’s great-grandfather Gorden was born in Mounds, Creek, Oklahoma, the son of Jefferson Davis Campbell and Freedonia/Fredonia/Fredom May Teaney. Lou was born in Mississippi, the daughter of Walter Alba Wyatt and Mary Tiny VanZandt/Van Zandt.
Kim’s matrilineal line can be traced to her great-great-great-great-grandmother, S. Margaret “Maggie” Gray, who was born, c. 1833, in Mississippi.

She is annoying.
One day all white Americans are going to look like her. They are all going to look Indians but still are going to pretend they white. Us, Europeans are not going to buy it. If you ever travel outside from the USA make sure you wear a T-shirt with the following slogan:
“My USA Census say that I am white even if I look Indian and my children would look like me.”
I am Dutch and I have travel to other countries in Europe. She does not look like a non mixed Italian, non mixed Spaniard or any of those mediterraneo countries. I can tell the difference between them and a Arab.There is a reason why we called ourselves the European race. Yes, they have been wars and mixing but even the facial feactures of those mixed Spaniards,Italians, Greek, Portuguese have remain of a white person.Unmixed Spaniards, italians, portuguese look like us. Her facial feacture are from a Indian woman.Clerly she is not white. I do not need to do any DNA testing. Clearly she is of European race.Her mother does look more meditarrean than Nordic.
All Europeans came from the same ancestors. We are all cousins. Sometimes I think that USA and Europe live in different planets.According to DNA test this what they found:

Clearly she is not of European race. Sorry for my English.She is not white.
You’re really stupid.
And I don’t think Kim looks Indian.
Armenian is an indo-european language and they’re a christian nation, debatably part of the european continent, not to mention even middle easterns are caucasian, so saying kim kardashian is not white is as stupid as saying cameron diaz isn’t white.
not white
Kanye link pls
Kim is gorgeous. Why does everyone hate her? I do hate Kanye, but that doesn’t change my opinion of Kim.
I don’t hate her.
she can’t pass turkish ,her features are exotic/strange for a turk. why you people who knows nothing about turkey talks about them? we know much our people than you! maybe turkic people are from central asia, but in majority turkish people are descendants of peoples from thracia and anatolia and this is what they look, they can have a mediteranean look like some italians so I am ok with wtf about italians but not spanish. Yes they can look like their neighbors also. Every persons in turkey don’t have the same look!
Kim is of europeoid race, wannabe black with over-tanned skin.., she looks like her mother which presumably has Native American blood which explains her somehow darker features .. all of her children even the Jenner ones has this features.
