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.

    She’s gorgeous. She’s one of the few beauties in Hollywood that I think is truly stunning.

    This is an odd picture of her. Not saying it looks bad it just makes her appear different than she normally does. I thought she was Georgian because I knew she was some type of Central/Eastern European and she has a darker pigment and hair color like a lot of Georgians have, like Katie Melua or Stalin.

    • Jason says:

      That’s stereotyping, there are a lot of different looks throughout Eastern Europe, there are dark Ukrainians too, not all of them are blonde, in fact there are a lot of fake blondes. I live in Ukraine. I hate stereotypes whether they are positive or negative ones.

    Wow seriously every comment that used black or mexican in it got a bad rating. Oops there goes my rating lol.
    And just to clarify there is no such thing as looking like a jew… Unless u wear the cap or ur at a Barmitspa. Its a religion. And its not physically possible to change your appearance by beleiving in a different interpretation of god.unless u think ull be reincanated into something else so u jump off of a bridge.
    Back to the topic. no racism intended but she does kind of have the hips eyes(sort of) and skin texture of a hispanic. eh i was thinking maybe she was mixed but oh well…
