I don't know if this has been discussed already or not, but here goes....
What's Summer's ethnicity? She looks part asian to me, but does anyone know for sure? I looked around a bit on the web, but I couldn't find any answers.

I'm pretty sure both her parents are caucasian. Basing that off something I heard her say in an interview, not sure what precisely.
Don't make faces.

She looks part Asian or Pacific Islander to me as well, and I'm familiar with the look being half-Asian myself :). I was thinking part Hawaiian perhaps, based on her last name which does not sound entirely caucasian.

She's Irish all the way. Her middle name is Ale.

While she does appear to have some pacific islander, looks can deceive. My sister in law is half pacifc, half caucasian, so I can say from experience, it could be the case.
But I'm think I'm going to have to say she's mostly caucasion. Celtic structure, the slender form, the cheekbones, the overall shape of the face and eyes, with germanic complexion, hair and eyes. True germanics are brown all around, not the blond/blue of Hitler's Super Race. The fair hair and pale eyes thing is Norse.
So appearances aside, I think I have to agree with piratecat. Probably caucasian.
Oh, and her middle name is Lyn, not Ale.

Maybe, but looking at her colouration, I'd possibly guess at one caucasian parent, and one Hispanic or Mediterranian (Spanish/Italian/Greek) parent.

I've often thought that black-haired Irish people look vaguely Asian. And I think there are some similarities in traditional design motifs and musical riffs as well.
Could be coincidence. Could be the influence of a long-lost colony, one way or the other :)

I don't know what she is and I really don't care...I've seen some pics of her that are truly amazing...all dolled up and looking like a movie star....My opinion.....no one, including Alba, matches Summer's beauty.
This is from imdb....not much :
Summer Glau
Birth name
Summer Lyn Glau
Height
5' 6½" (1.69 m)
Summer is a native of San Antonio, Texas. She's been a premier ballerina most of her life. Her debut was in various commercials and a guest appearance on the WB's "Angel" (1999). She has gone on to star on the TV series "Firefly" (2002) and is now in the movie Serenity (2005).
Trivia
The cast of Serenity (2005) made a running gag of shouting her name if they forgot their lines during a scene. The joke originated when she blew a line at the end of a particularly long and difficult scene on the TV series "Firefly" (2002).
Played similar "crazy" characters on both the television series "Firefly" (2002/I) (and its movie Serenity (2005)) and "The 4400" (2004

Here's another one of the Irishcaneez looking stunningly beautiful and mature. I like my women American all the way as long as she's not a French-Canandian I am ok with it.
