Three of Mila’s grandparents are named Boris, Roza/Rosa, and Yitzhak.

A 23andMe DNA test taken by Mila stated that her genetic ancestry is:

*96%-98% Ashkenazi Jewish

Mila has also said:

The amount of guilt that I’ve perfected the use of – already on my 3-year-old – is magical… I took a 23 and Me test, where you find out… what’s your DNA… and I’m thinking “I’m going to be exotic… there’s going to be something wonderful about me.” No, ya’ll, I am 96% Ashkenazi Jew. You know what that means? I’m inbred. I am really Jewish, you guys. There is nothing about me that’s exotic. I am a Jew. You know what that means? Guilt.

    @Splice of Life you seriously have issues native american/Filipina ???
    Have you ever seen one ?? They are much darker and have completely different facial features

  2. me says:

    No, people think this is because she looks more exotic today, but look at old pictures of her, she looks like a normal white girl. But it is jewish .Filipinos and Native Americans don’t have big eyes like her.

    I hope people do know that Ukraine Is not Europe but part of Eurasia. Ive met many people from there that look like Lucy Lui.

    I guess our American brains are not programed to think outside of the box when it comes to ethnicity.

    • Maria says:

      Ukraine is in Eastern Europe.Of course you can get people that are of Asian origin there ..Eurasia is just the name of the supercontinent of Europe and Asia joined together.You saying Ukraine is Eurasia means Germany,France Finland ,Italy etc are all in Eurasia which is foolish it just a phrase that`s used.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia

      • Jimenez says:

        Of course Europe is just a little bump on Eurasia. But Ukraine is part of Europe, Europe goes to the Urals, that’s the border, + also the Caucasus and the Mediterranean in the south. There’s a little space between the Caucasus and the Urals, so Kazakhstan has a little bit of territory within Europe! Russia, obviously, has a big chunk of Asia as well.
        Eastern Europeans are Europeans and they’re not Asians and they don’t look Asian, unless they have direct Asian ancestry.

        I mean, I could say that Americans often look Asian just because there are many Asian immigrants in the US, same thing.

        No Ukranians are all white ! And they are classified as Eastern Europeans similar to Polish, Belarusian, Russian etc. You probably know some Chinese or Asian Ukranian !

    • alina says:
