On her Twitter account, she stated:
I’m Irish, English, and French. People always think I’m a lot of different nationalities though which I think is pretty cool :)
Oddly, Miranda did not mention her one eighth Mexican ancestry. Miranda’s maternal grandfather’s mother, Mary Castimello/Costano/Coseton, was born in Mexico, as were Mary’s parents. The spelling of Mary’s surname varies from record to record.

Miranda’s maternal grandfather was William Frank Casey (the son of William John Casey and Mary Cecilia Castimello/Costano/Coseton). Miranda’s grandfather William was born in California. Miranda’s great-grandfather William was Irish, born in Brosna, County Kerry. Miranda’s great-grandmother Mary was Mexican, born in Juárez, Chihuahua.

Miranda’s maternal grandmother was Lois Ann Core (the daughter of Robert Herman Core and Ida Marie Bishir/Bishop). Lois was born in Oklahoma. Robert was the son of John W. Core and Birdie Harrell. Ida was the daughter of John Bunyan Bishir/Bishop and Effie I. Jones. A picture of Miranda’s maternal grandmother can be seen here.
Miranda’s distant Bishir ancestors were Alsatian German.

She looks Armenian or Italian which are two of her ethnicities!!
I agree with both Julis, Miranda’s facial shape and all of her features look distinctly Asian. I can understand if people have different opinions, but some people cling so much to the idea of someone being “white”.
I agree with the other Juli (juli22), she looks VERY Asian, no way she’s White, c’mon! She certainly has an Asian background. White people never look like that, unless I’m unaware of something.
I understand that you would try to support someone, but i am going to tell you; don’t do that. White sometimes don’t look white. I am white and I look just like a mexican with midbrown skin. Jersey Shore people don’t look white, but are! Cake Boss is Italian, but doesn’t look white. they are so many other people out there like that. I am , Italian, Gaelic-Irish and porutguese, not berber/amerindian/arab, German, Spaniard of the white blue eyes and fair hair, not berber/amerindian/arab, Italian, dutch, english, and Scottish. Most of them are midbrown white, never light-skinned white! some people i know are the same way of irish gaelic or some other white race with not looking.
wanna be white?
SHE IS WHITE!!!
Miranda Cosgrove is a wanna be white. Why can’t she just admit she’s asian or latino. What, is she ashamed of who she is really is. You don’t see people like Victoria Justice not admitting (latina) and stunning. MIRANDA, you are ugly and you look exactly the same since you were a child which isn’t cute. admit your true race. stop wishing and writing that you are white. because you are definately of a latino and/or asian background.
ok,your comment was in a way ridiculous,how do you know that she is the one writing that she is just white,and she is not ugly(you just have bad eyes)what if she actually is not latino or whatever,your not the one to say so(cuz i doubt you know what she really is,so stop forcing it,unless you truely know,or her parents or her own self told you)(you probably could be right that she is those things that you are claiming,but you dont have to be tripin and getting mad at her for,cause if shes italian,armenian,russian,irish and welsh,than according to this site she is those things,dont be all getting mad at her,cuz you is just tripin
I think yhur right ! She is ugly and can’t sing WORTH NOTHING she couldnt sing one GUDD sing if her life depended on it ! I dnt give a dang about her ethnicity cuz she ugly either way ; and she can’t act . . . Yuh kno wen yuh actually think about all dis yuh say “Y DA HECK IS SHE FAMOUS ANYWAY ??!??!??!” Well I kno I do .
hey robyn SHUUUSH your ugly mouth
HAHA YEAH RIGHTZ
