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.

Yes, i agree with Rafael, armenians are black, like kim kardashian, but maybe she’s got something from Azerbaijan? Who knows, she’s very white, even without make-up.
Armanians are not black, they are Middle Eastern…
I’m not sure what classifications are Armenians….but i know people from the middle east range from very light -to dark skin.Soon as people think of middle east they always only think of lighter skin middle easterners. Between Northern Africa and Middle east there are a lot of different classifications of race. Also the Middle East is a geographical location, not a race. And not to mention I have talked to some people from that area of the world that claim black ancestry.Honestly I don’t think many are so hung up on race, I think there more focus on religion.
I have seen Armenians that are white as snow and have hair black as charcoal. That is actually more common than the really dark middle eastern look most people assume. I always think Armenians look Romanian or Albanian type of dark. Armenians are Caucasian and are from the Caucasus region. Yes, we have middle eastern looks probably due to the Persian Empire rule. And by black, i think you mean dark features haha.
ummm….. im full blood armenian and im not black….. but ok! :)
HAAHAH armenians black? They are white!
armenians arent black… but they are also far away from being white
Wow nora, I sometimes think you know a lot about Armenian History and the Eurasian/Ancient Anatolian Region so so well!! What features makes you believe a person is “white?”
@NK – “armenians are black” – there are some really stupid people in this world…
I agree, she is mixed with almost everything, but i knew that she couldn’t be Asian. Call it sterotype or whatever but i’m mixed with Black, Creole-French, Indian, and White. And me and Miranda has like the same kind of eyes, low and Asian like. But we don’t have a ounce of it in us.
Yeah I noticed that usually when someone is mixed with so many things they come out with “Asian eyes”. (btw you sound really cool i would loved to be mixed with so many things lol)
Russian and Armenian, huh? No wonder she’s so exotic. She looks like an Eurasian.
Russians are White just to let you know.. how old are you? 5?
To Justin
“Indians and blacks really have no accomplishes but their typical blame whitey formulas.” LMFAO
You are an extremely silly person. Continue to fight your hopeless cause, your overt ignorance is quite amusing.
