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.

Her skin Is very pale on this pic but she still look beautiful !!
I always thought she was half latino. Probably because of her name – “Miranda.” And her looks.
Half latino? As a Lati Ameircan a person can´t be half latino. You speak totally al latin derivated language, then you are Latino if you don´t you are not. You can´t be half a culture, you can´t be half latino
Sum1:British,Irish,Germans,French,Dutch,Scandinavians,Baltics and Slavic peoples are PURE WHITE !!!!
Italians? Spaniards? Portuguese? Belgian?and if you use Germanic then why British and Irish? they’re also in it or use German Austrian Irish Welsh… and so on whatever all I know is that she is White and her look is not so weird for a White girl
dude…. she’s doesn’t look White at all.
stop being a tool
She kinda looks like she could be related to MJ, pre-death.
LMFAOOOO so wrong, but I definitely see the resemblance. Poor girl.
I have ALWAYS thought she resembled the white MJ.
Armenians are not considered white and personally I think they’re not. Russians are apparently white. Italian, Irish,welsh are definatley white
Italians no
yes we are
i live in new york where italians are abundant
i am sicilian and english myself
i don’t know a single person who doesn’t consider italians white. guess i am marking the wrong thing on forums then and the government has lied to my family lol
you are a moron
we are white
i don’t even know anyone who doesn’t consider Italians white
I thought everyone knew that Italians were white..
are you an idiot or what? Russians can’t be whiter and they are fucking Slavic you moron! Russians are like the Whitest Whites and Italians and Spaniards and all Europeans are White and many Middle Eastern’s like Armenians, Turks, Lebanese and so on..! go educate yourself and then comment ;)
Russians ARE white. More in the Western Region. The Eastern Region.. They are Mixed.
