wtf are you on? Hilary Duff is completely white. Her parents are Robert Duff and Susan Colleen--neither of those names are even Asian. Duff is a Gaelic surname so she has some Irish/Scottish ancestry. 

 

http://ethnicelebs.com/hilary-duff lists her possible ethnicities, none of which are Asian.

Her mom is mixed asian, obviously the dad wouldn't be the one who's asian since that rarely happens now let alone back in the 1900's!

Uh no. 

 

Info about her grandparents from her mom's side:

 

 

 

Hilary’s maternal grandfather was Samuel Clark “Sam†Cobb, Jr. (the son of Samuel/Sam Clark Cobb and Eva/Era Hamil Whitaker). Hilary’s grandfather Samuel was born in Texas. Hilary’s great-grandfather Samuel was the son of Clark/Charles Griffin Cobb and Mary Cornelia P. Smith.

 

 

Hilary’s maternal grandmother was Amy Beulah Schlemmer (the daughter of Albert Lee Schlemmer and Eula Belle Angell). Amy was born in Texas. Albert’s parents, Ernst/Earnest Schlemmer and Anna/Anne/Annie Westowska, were German, with his father from Rhine and his mother from Posen; Anna may have been of Polish descent, though her language is listed as German. Eula was the daughter of Charles Frank Angell and Rosie Beulah Rogers.

 

You can see the genealogy for Hilary Duff's family here and again, none of her family members or ancestors are Asian.

I knew plenty of mixed kids with Asian dads born in the 80s. I have family members born in the 90s mixed with an Asian dad.

hmm so either she's one of those asian looking Russians like Miranda Cosgrove, or her grandparents were passing like black people used to pass in order to have a better life.

 

She's not Russian. I don't think you even looked at the website that I linked to but it says her ethnicities are: German, English, Scottish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Welsh, French, possibly 1/16th Polish. 

 

And Miranda Cosgrove doesn't have Russian ancestry either, she has Irish, French, and English ancestry and a little bit of Mexican ancestry via her great-grandmother.
