Well, I certainly didn't use mutt in a derogatory way, especially since I called myself one! I don't look like her at all (besides the same hair/eye color) but I'm not a mangy dog either. There's nothing wrong with the word mutt...you've really never heard people jokingly call themselves or others American mutts? sheesh
Plenty of Americans are a mix of a few things, but if you can count every great or great-great grandparent being from a different country or ethnicity, that's still a bit unusual. I have no idea if Summer is like that or not, but she certainly could be.
And I wasn't meant to be derogatory about actual mutts, either. Mix breed dogs are actually a lot more genetically stronger than purebreeds. Just in case any canines were offended by post.

I don't know if it is necessarily correct or not but http://www.summer-glau.net/bio.php speaks of her heritage. It says "Summer Lyn Glau was born on July 24, 1981, in San Antonio Texas. Even though she grew up close to the Mexican border, she’s not of Latin origins. Her ancestors were German, Irish and Scottish." I don't know where they got this from so I'm not going to say it's absolutely correct, but it seems very possible.

Guess she's not unlike Catherine Zeta Jones, who many think looks latin , but is of Welsh / Irish heritage.
Both are simply smokin' hot.

Hi,
Yeah ive been looking around too, to see what her nationality might be. I know she claims Scotish,German and Irish. I can see the asian in her features as well. I truly believe their is Asian of some sort hispanic no. Im guessing something on the lines of Laoas, Vietnamese. Pretty much rulled out filipino. Not sure about Japanese. Notice she says nothing about her parents. I suspect the asian is from one of the grandparents.
Some people are ashamed to admit asian orgin even in this day and age. Beautiful Girl who will make it big.

Another thing I myself am a mixture of Irish,scotish,filipino,Basque and am also familiar of what a mixture of nationalities can look like.
Also Most Asians carry their parents last names to middle name when they marry. Unlike Americans can chose what we want.My wife(filipino)carried her moms last name as her middle and her fathers last name until we married then she kept her fathers as her middle name. Lyn could be something carried over Glau she says means glow in German. Sound like Nau which would be Laoas or thai. I have no doubt their is asian but what exactly?
Again I had a sister who used to claim Caucasian to her friends way back in High School.(mountain area)Red hair, Fair skin, brown eyes only her slanted eyes and flat nose gave her away.My old mans mother was a red headed irish, scotish woman.He look like a pure Filipino.Like his father.People always though she was baby sitting. You never can tell.
Summer Lyn Glau has unique beauty!

Summer's eyes, forehead and hairline are what give her an exotic look.
I saw a girl in public who looked similar to Summer but with stronger physical characteristics that I would call South-East Asian.
(She was a beauty, too.)
Summer Glau may not have Asian ancestry, but the eyes, forehead and hairline made her perfect to play River TAM.

She's an elf. Wood elf, judging by her height and dark eyes.
Mystery solved.
