    I may be wrong by my supposition but whenever I look at someone like Keanu Reeves, Neyo, Naomi Campbell, Tyger Woods, and Nicki Minaj to name just a few I always assumed or at least wondered if they had some Asian in them because of their eyes. Usually, Asian genes are very dominant when it comes to the eyes no matter what other races they mix with, at least in my opinion.

      Asad Rachman I read the link. According to it Māori are also Austronesian. I'm Māori from New Zealand. We do not consider ourselves to be Asian. We consider ourselves to be Polynesian. I am aware of research linking us to Taiwan but I bet if you asked any Māori if we were Asian, 100% would say no. As more research is done maybe that will change. Anyway, Austronesia isn't even a word that comes from our part of the world it comes from some German dude.

    I have a legitimate question. Does the quarter and one eight matter in America when it comes to ethnicity? I'm not from the states and where I'm from (the Caribbean) it's not really recognized that you're mixed unless if you actually look mixed race you're either black, Indian white etc. So generally would people who may be mixed but look more like one particular ethnicity be consideeed anything else but what they look like?

    Awesome list. But question. I noticed you listed The Rock with his Samoan ethnicity on here. Myself being half Samoan half Tongan born in New Zealand which is in the Pacific. It's true that Samoa it's in the nesian group of Polynesia, my question is, is it generally regarded where ever it is OTGW is made, that Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia are considered to be Asian? Was surprised and now curious to see how we were viewed.

    Most individuals who are half Asian are attractive, especially if they inherit the eyes because the eyes are exotic to beauty standards outside of Asia. That is why it is sad when Asians hate their ethnic features, wanting to change them. You are beautiful the way you are.

      +Creepy Creeper nope, you are incorrect about my ethnic and racial lineage and quite frankly it is none of your damn busniess.
      yes there is a lot of internalized racism that exist for some who come from a mixed race heritage. The same is also true for monoracial poc as well.
      Hollywood actors/actresses represent a small population of people who come from a mixed race heritage. Additionally the experiences of those who are multi-racial are not liner or binary so it's not up to you or anyone to project or tell anyone how they should identify. It is up to the individual for them to decide and no one else.
      in my original statement i was expressing my distaste and daily experience with fetishization, discrimination, and microaggressions as a multi-racial asian american woman.
      i dont care to discuss this obesseion you have with an assumed superiority complex from those of mixed race (white mixed or not). Not every mixed person's experiences are the same and quite frankly you are attempting to engage in a unproductive conversation which deviates and runs on tangent from my original comment.
      if you want/wanted to express your opinion i dont know why you chose to do it in direct response to my original comment.
      there are many academic articles and research about asian and asian american communties. although the topic of mixed raced asian americans is still fairly new within academics relating to asian americans it would be productive for one to inform oneself before making offhanded assumptions. especially since you to do speak as a person who comes from a mixed race asian background.

    0:21-Saying that Samoan ppl are [East] "asian" is **really** stretching it imo guys `_` ..it's almost like saying that Inuit ppl are Asian.
    Things is both groups while originating "once upon a [the late Pleistocene in the case of the Americas and 1600-500 .B.C. in the case of Samoa particulary b/c of something called the "Lapita culture expansion"] time from Asia, they essentially developed into different phenotypes from Asians entirely. Samoans (like indigenous Hawaiians) are *POLYNESIAN*.
    Inuit ppl live in Greenland and the northern regions of the continent of North America in what's now Canada and the .U.S. state of Alaska.Samoa ISN'T EVEN part of a continent (or a continent unto itself like how Australia+Papua New Guinea=the Australasian region) let alone can be said to be "part of Asia".
    It's part of a region of islands collectively called Oceania which is a considerable amount away from the entire continent of Asia enough that you can stop saying "Asian" by that point.
    Guys there are indeed ethnicities and regions out there that are sorta obscure enough enuff in the popular conscience that you oughta look up on your geography even if it's with something like Wikipedia.

    Okay, sometimes I theorize why some people look more Asian or White or whatever when it comes to them being mixed. I'm no geneticist but, it always depends on who the person is. Or who the parent is of the child that is a different race.
    Mom's who are Asian, sometimes their child is more with more Asian traits than white. (My best friend's mom is from Shanghai and her dad is Dutch-American.) But when the father is Asian, and the mom is white or another race, the child isn't really supporting many Asian traits.
    Like I said, it's not always the case!
