Paris
The 29-year-old actress stars alongside a bevy of other beauties to promote the cosmetic line's new True Match foundation, which has expanded to 33 shades.

'I'm English, Irish, German and Cherokee,' the make-up brand's spokesmodel revealed. 'So my family's sort of from all over.'

Another white celebutante wishing she were minority and not the blonde haired, blue eyed American girl next door. It's really getting old.

Why would anyone want to be part savage anyway?

Savage?
Like, the real savage Europeans who came to their lands uninvited and brought diseases and genocide with them?

Anyways, i think most white american's have a thing for claiming to be part native american simply for the sake of seeming more diverse and 'spicy'.

More like brought Civilization to people with no concept of land ownership (meaning it was ours for the taking).

According to ethnicelebs she is not part Cherokee.

Ethnicity: English, smaller amounts of Scottish, German, and Welsh

Blake has English, with a smaller amount of Scottish, German, and Welsh, ancestry.

Several L’Oréal commercials featuring Blake describe her ancestry as being partially Cherokee (Native American). It is not clear if this Cherokee Native American ancestry has been verified/documented. No Cherokee Native Americans appear among Blake’s recent and relatively recent ancestors.

Anyway the Irish were also savages until very recently.

Germans and Anglos were savages at some point as well.
