Did You Know They're Also Asian? Do They Look Asian?

[Guest IwishIwasKOREAN]

Add pictures to the thread!

I'm not trying to be racist or anything, but I noticed that there are celebrities that some people didn't know were actually of Asian descent. Someone was saying how mixed Asians celebrities "look ASIAN", so let's see how that applies and what everyone else thinks!

I decided to make a thread, if you know of more... add to the thread!

Edit: I have added their Asian ethnicities as requested by others.

It was my intention to make a thread to to post pictures of celebrities where people might not think were also of Asian descent. It's also not exclusive to any particular Asian mix, i.e. EurAsians. For those stating there's other threads about this already, I have contacted JaeHo about your concerns.

PS: Thank you to those who also added pictures to the thread!

Pretty much everyone except Mark look part Asian, so your choices really don't prove anything.

Also, you should've put their backgrounds down.

[Guest shinhdeplol]

Everyone has different opinions, most people don't think Tiger Woods looks Asian at all. Someone already mentioned that they didn't think Leah Dizon looks Asian.Most people say that Dominic Sandoval looks more "Latino" than Asian.

My choices are the celebrities that I'm aware of and were not picked to prove a point.

He's pretty famous in Korea, so I dunno if he belongs here. lol

[Guest hellobby]

Yeah, I agree you should put their ethnicity down; it'd be neat to know what Asian ethnicity they have in them. =]

Didn't know Tiger Woods was part Asian; I check Wiki and he's 25% Chinese, lol, cool.

[Guest Khikarugal]

Keanu Reeves is part asian too!

[Guest i_4got]

I always thought Mike Shinoda was full Asian.

[Guest MISS`IN·DOM·I·TA·BLE]

gahhh keanu reeves still makes me weak in the knees *_*

[Guest clouds4ME]

woah!! i had no idea Hines Ward and Michelle Branch were asian!

[Guest mariejoeyjacobs]

wow, they dont really have the asian look! surprising! i've always thought michelle branch dont look purely white though. finally i see the light.

[Guest easyascake]

most of them have asian names, so that's a huge giveaway.

but zack morris!?! he's part-asian?! by how much? like 2%? 'cause i can barely tell.

wow. leah. very ...revealing.

edit:

i just imdb-ed it, mark is part indonesian.

yeah, maybe you should put their mixes under their pictures?

[Guest manlytoe]

no effing way, i have no clue!

[Guest tomodachi_usagi]

amerie and crystal kay are both half korean and that pic of leah is from her import modeling days. so don't be surprised... a quick google n tons more like it pop up.

[Guest Ce'nedra]

Hmm distant Asian descent would be correct but I wouldn't consider Michelle Branch 'Asian' considering she's only 1/8th Indonesian. I don't think it'd be sincere to label her as such (she is, after all, predominantly of Caucasian background).
