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 looks ukrainian. Also, Ukrainian area started out with blondes and later went on to mix with others that came from Greece, Turkey, middle-east and central asia. No one is 100% pure..we all have a mixture of what who really knows. We know Mila was born in Ukraine and maybe generations of her family were born there.

    This is not to offend or Insult cause it’s truth and we all know truth Hurts! I think half of all of you are right and wrong, but this sounds more of a debate superiority between races of who’s high class or who’s worthy or not! In other words acceptance and appreciating is the key to carry on Individuality the right to blend in and learn from our own personal positive experience from each other! I think she can blend in with any culture especially Hispanic and Native American, and what’s wrong with being Mexican or if she was of Latin descent HUH:<! You should all stop Hating with Blind Pride and Ignorant Prejudice! Mexico is Full of Rich Culture and Creative Heritage despite it's certain poverty and corrupted government but hey that's every where! So no excuse despite some of you all's Education and Bloody Sophistication LOL:[]; Most Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, and Budapest Cultures are not considerably pure Euro they are descendants of Middle Eastern Nomadic Tribes especially Mediterrainen Cultures Like Southern Italians, Greeks and Spartans which are considerably the first original Latins of Turkish, Egyptian and Persian descent and mostly other Middle Eastern Nomadic Tribes cause the Middle East, Egypt and yes Africa are not too Far Apart Especially some parts of Asia they are some what short walking and canoe distance to each other sort of like Canada, America, Mexico and the rest of the Americas South and Central! Do your studying, history and personal experience right before laying scraps of garbage out to Some Decent Human Beings. In the quotes as you call Eastern Euro, remember Jewish is a part of the Middle Eastern Culture such as ISRAEL another Big important part of the Middle East and no they are not all considered pure or white some just leave there or now blend in or accept certain culture's into theirs. Canada and America is also Rich in Culture and Heritage from the beginning with the Native Americans up to Now as like anything the worst things here are Lies, Racist ism, and Self-Biased Corruption but as quoted hey that's every where and we have to live with it but can still do something right about to avoid it from furthering.! The Truth will set you Free have Faith and Stop living in Lies it's up to all of US!

      Your information on Eastern Europeans is inaccurate, and Israel has been a country for less than a hundred years. Most of the Jews who inhabit that country come from Europe. They have their own culture, religion, and ethnicity.

      Second of all, why do people constantly use the phrase “pure white?” I feel like I am attending a KKK meeting.
