She is also known for her song “Kissin U.”

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. A picture of Miranda’s maternal grandfather can be seen here.

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.

      armenian is not white,and it depends on what type of italian

      • cayni says:

        Before you make a comment like the one above, you should do some fact checking. Armenians are not black. They are Caucasian — Armenia is actually in the south Caucasus (perhaps the origin of the term Caucasian comes from the area??? DUH!)!!!
        Also they are ARYAN!

        • rafael says:

          ha ha ha aryan? caucasian comes from the caucaus mountains ha ha ha im still laughing

        • rafael says:

          im sure hitler wouldnt share your point of view.although robert kardashian was blonde haired and blue eyed. oh wait he wasn’t ha ha ha, aryan jeez everybody wants to be white,so sad

            Actually, the Armenians collaborated with the Nazis during WWll.

            “Alfred Rosenberg, who was to become later Hitler’s Minister of the Occupied Territories, declared that the Armenians were Indo-European, or Aryans, which honored them and put them in the same league with the Nazis. In Hitler’s foreign policy the Armenians fitted very nicely too. Hitler’s future invasion plans of Russia provided a golden opportunity for the Armenians to liberate what they considered to be “Historic Armenia” from the Soviet as well as the Turkish rule.”

            Hitler himself believed Armenians to be “part of the tribe,” so to speak.

          • somegirl says:

            I find it hard to believe that Hitler thought Armenians were Aryan haha. He had twisted ideas.
            The term Aryan is Indo-Iranian which stems from the Indo-European languages (also Armenian, Albanian, Baltic, etc). Persians and Armenians “were” considered Aryans and i say “were” because people today think blonde/blue eyed German when they hear the term. The term Caucasian is not just skin pigment people, Armenians have dark and light folks due to mixing and migration over thousands of years, the term refers to culture!!! True Caucasians are Armenians, Azeris, and Georgians. We are the people of the Caucasus region and have similar traditions and lifestlye.

        • rafael says:

          also,go back and reread ang you will see i didn’t say armenians are black,thats just your complex

          • Selene-The-Immortal says:

            Actually, he is right. Armenians are Caucasian, and Hitler changed the definition of Aryan to fit his agenda.

            “In the 18th century, the most ancient known Indo-European languages were those of the Indo-Iranians’ ancestors. The word Aryan was therefore adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to native Indo-European speakers as a whole, including the Greeks, Latins, and Germans. ”

            That is the origin of the term. Not to mention, the most basic division of the Indian society is of Aryans and Dravidians. The term Aryan did not originate in Europe, and yes, what it meant was altered to fit a psychotic man’s agenda.

            Furthermore, I don’t know why you would subscribe to what Hitler believed — he was a hypocrite. The man praised blonde hair and blue eyes, and he did not even have that himself.

          • somegirl says:

            Thank You!!!!
            Persians are considered true Aryans. They had a great empire and even till this day, they have their own style of culture and speak farsi and not arabic as many Middle Eastern nations do.
            As for Armenians, they are dark featured from mixing over centuires, but are true Caucasians due to the culture they share with neighboring people of the Caucasus region. They held tight onto the ancient rituals and traditions of their ancestors that lived in the South Caucasus and that is what makes us Caucasian. We do not believe we need pale features to feel “white”

          • Angantyr says:

            Armenians have a greater connection to Iran/Persia than to most Caucasus people (”Caucasian” ethno-linguistic groups such as Georgians) because they are culturally and linguistically Indo-European instead; same with the Ossetians or Alans.

            I am not sure why you think they are from the Caucasian ethnic group, because they are not. You are wrong.

            Caucasian > Kartvelian (South Caucasian) > Karto-Zan > Georgian

            Caucasian > North Caucasian > Northeast Caucasian > Nakh > Vainakh > Chechen

            Indo-European > Armenian

            Indo-European > Indo-Iranian > Iranian

            Indo-European > Indo-Iranian > Iranian > Eastern > Northeastern > Scythian > Western > Ossetian

      • rita says:

        A lot of my armenian friends consider themselves white though. Either way she’s a mixture of white looking ethnicities.

      • Angantyr says:

        Rafael is probably just a stupid Neo-Nazi who think that Armenians are not white because they think they are Semites. Armenians are Indo-European and even the original Nazis consider them, like Iranian and Northern Indians (especially the upper-castes) white. Nazis were stupid but Neos are even more so!

    I think she will get betterlooking with age. Some girls’ traits (legs, nose, lips, whatever) just look “big” and awkward on them till they grow into them :-)
