No, Kris is not Middle Eastern. Jenner was born Kristen Mary Houghton. "She is the daughter of Mary Jo Shannon (née Campbell) and Robert Houghton, an engineer."
However her first husband, Robert Kardashian is an Armenian-American, whose grandparents fled what is now Turkey in fear of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Armenians aren’t Middle Eastern either, although there are many Armenians in the Middle East, particularly the Levant and Iran. Armenia today lies to the east of Turkey, north of Iran contiguous with the Middle East.
The point is
Kris Jenner is not even 1% Middle Eastern.
