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.

Kunis in 2011
She looks more Armenian to me any way Like The Kardashians.
Why do non Hispanics always assume people are Mexican? Amo mi Mexicanos pero I hate when people think everyone is Mexican.
Viva mi raza! Soy Mexicano
then slavics look mexican,because she definately looks mexican.please people stop living in your bubbles.don’t fall for hollywoods idea of hispanic.
She does look Eastern European. Mexicans who are white rarely look like her. I think you live in a bubble because you assume everyone who has dark hair and can tan well can pass as Mexican, which I’m assuming you mean those white ones of Spanish descent and she looks nothing like a Spaniarad. If she lived in Spain they would assume she was Romanian, Polish, or Ukrainian. Trust me I’ve lived in Spain and I’m Polish and her complexion, but Spanish people always told me that I had exotic ‘Eastern’ facial features, which she has too.
Well said Anya,Automatically anyone on this site who has dark hair and a tan complexion is Mexican.Rafael you are living in a bubble the world does not revolve around America and what it`s stereotypes on what all Mexicans look like.And that any European with a tan complexion is bloddy Mexican.
She looks like a Mexican.
No she doesn’t. She looks Slavic.
then slavics look mexican,because she definately looks mexican.
Most Americans are very uneducated concerning the diversity of Europeans and Caucasians in general, so they think anyone with a dark complexion is automatically “Mexican” or non-white. I guess you could say you cannot blame them, they grow up in such a bubble with very filtered and biased information, but the Internet is here, go look up pictures of Europeans and Caucasians around the world for yourself, there are very dark complexions and very light complexions.
The “Mexicans” you see looking like Mila have a lot of European DNA in them, most likely Spaniard DNA, that’s why they look like this.
You can see the stark difference between a “Latina” (erroneous label) who looks like Mila and a “Latino” that looks like George Lopez (indigenous American look).
