I can actually see the Cherokee in her. “sorry”
HAHHA on another page on the jonas page of this site(cause someone was saying miley was just white whaha I predicted(like i always thought!) that miley was Cherokee/native, French, Russian/eastern Europian, and something white…… And her dad is good looking aswell as manly-sturdy looking and tans easily , I always loudly told people that he and Miley must be Cherokee/native d. DANG i’m gooood( I got it mostly right) see I always Know! that’s what yah get when your mixed with 6 ethnicities yourself ruuuuuuuuling (eye) haha
White is not a race. French,russian,easturn european are considered white
russians are made up of mixed euro-asians, hence, exotic models
she bi racial! she bi racial! she italian…..
She ain’t Italian!
Am I the only one who thinks she might actually be part (albeit a small part, but there’s something there) Native American? Maybe not Cherokee, but I think she’s partially Native American especially if the native blood is from her father.
So ALL her ancestors on her geneology have been confirmed to be ENGLISH, IRISH, WELSH and FRENCH, yet you still post cherokee indian ?!?! LOL. You can’t just ASSUME you have to have proof.. This site is sooo B.S.
its obvious she has cherokee ancestry, look at her eye shape and her forehead and you will see some resemblance to native american
well the mossst awesome looking girls are mixed with tons of different ethnicities ofcourSSSSe she’s native ,her strong manes, full lips , nice bone structure, and nose is not white DUHHHHHHHHHHH
world girl she dosnt even have full lips first of all. and anyways if miley did have native american in her it would be ver little like about minimum 5% to maximum 15% but it would still be something i guess :/
and worldgirl i hate how yuo exaggerate her looking SOOOO native american like sshut the fuck up ok annoying ppl here gosh thumb thisa up if u hate exaggerators like this dumb ass ahahah
Her native american genes can be stronger than her european..Its called genetics.theres actually a white couple that had a black baby because of their african ancestry..happens all the time but she looks like her dad ,genes can skip several gene.Research Genealogy but I learned about it in 9th grde.
She does have full lips . Big lips arent considered full.
U obviously know nothing about native americans we have different tribes that all look different
wow that was alittle rude
Miley isn’t even pretty, though, and her racial background is the same as most “white Americans.” I can see how she might have Native ancestry, though.
