With 2 EA parents, will the kid look pure EA or is it possible the kid might pick up more of the european or asian side?

One of the most famous in Hong Kong are the brother - sister pair Trevor Morris and Karen (Morris) Mok. I have seen a picture of both of them with their parents, but I seem not be able to find any of them now. One of them was posted on EAN a few years ago. I think the answer is that you will get even more variations of combinations that a first generation cross, as some more recessive traits may become apparent. I you live in the USA (incl Puerto Rico) or Brazil, you would have seen this phenomenon many times in mixed African-European families. Or you will see many cases of Hapa - Hapa families in Hawaii. will the kid look pure EA? What does this mean? Do you mean *typical* EA? Or maybe you have extensive experience with *pure* EA people?

Kazakhs are a mixed race. But what happens when a Kazakh marries another Kazakh? They breed... another Kazakh! Kinda obvious answer really

Well, one of my son's kindergarten classmates is 2nd generation Eurasian. This boy's parents are both 1st generation Eurasians. The boy's paternal grandparents are Japanese (granny) and white (grandpa-not sure of his Euro descent or if he has any Native-Am. ancestry). The boy's maternal grandparents are Chinese/Filipino (granny) and white (grandpa-also not sure of the Euro mix or Native Am. ancestry if any). So this boy's parents phenotypically came out looking like relatives of Enrique Iglesias-the singer. They are both tanned looking, with features like Mediterraneans. Their son has the same complexion but with Asian features- so he looks completely S.E. Asian. Just because in the U.S. one parent is PHENOTYPIOCALLY Asian or European, you just don't know what is in their gene pool.

sorry, typical EA is what I meant. Some have commented before saying EA's kinda look similar, which I think is true. It's not hard for me to tell if someone is mixed.

Kazakhs are a mixed race. But what happens when a Kazakh marries another Kazakh? They breed... another Kazakh! Kinda obvious answer really Ethnically they are Kazakh, but the question was about "looks", not ethnicity. and among the Central Asian peoples, they don't necessarily look like a typical 50/50 EA -- some do seem to lean towards European, some towards Asian, some have some Middle-Eastern, even a touch of South Asian look to them. They look like a mixture of many different things, and even siblings could have a slightly different look. So, sorry, but I completely disagree with your point -- the thread asked about looks, not about *pure* ethnicity.

^ That's the point They'll just look Kazakh, and Kazakhs themselves, look very diverse amongst their own.

my first cousins are both 2nd generation EA (half japanese, half jewish) both look typically EA.... one looks a bit more japanese though but maybe it's because of having 2 parents from very similar backgrounds...

A girl who went to the same high school as me had half Chinese half Russian parents. Her and her brother came out looking really 50/50. European hair, Asian skin, European body type ( I mean long legs, taller than most Asians ).

Most would probably turn out looking EA like the average EA. But maybe a few would look more asian or more white...
Like if both the parents had white parents with blonde hair and blue eyes, there is a small risk for the kids to have lighter hair than dark brown and perhaps green or blue eyes, or one or the other because Genes tend to be independent of each other. Wasn't that something Mendel said?
25% Chance for blue/green eyes. And hair colour is more complex, depending on how many light haired genes the child gets. But I assume that maybe one of the white grandparents or both could have darker hair and brown/darker eyes, which would again diminish the risk of lighter hair and eyes.

You cant always determine the genetic background of a person just by the looks. It seems like some people actually think that... Like typically when 2 "black" people (actually biracial) have kids together and one kid looks black like the parents and the other looks white, its world sensational

That would be interesting to find a case of EA's children that turn out either Asian or white. There have already been cases showing this in black and white families: Both parents are half black half white and the girls shown are twins. Of course, such examples tend to surface more evidently because blacks and whites differ physically far more than Asians and whites.

Eureka I discovered one today. Coworker of mine from Hawaii with both parents half white half Filipino. I don't know what her parents look like, but this girl looks Hispanic so I guess we could say she looks like a clear shot Eurasian.
