Isnt it better to have a thread about 1/4 asians?? 1/8 is kind of very little. Like Im 1/8 Scottish or something, but never tell anyone about it It has no role in my life, too far away!

Wow, Jimmy Page looks so much more Asian now that he's older. I think this is mostly true for the majority. I think most people with Asian descent tend to look rather Asian when they grow older. Just my opinion and personal experiences.

Only reason why you guys say that Jimmy Page looks so asian is because of his saggy upper eyelids and droopy skin. However, actually everyone, regardless of race, tends to get saggy skin as they get older. If you don't believe me go look at old white people and you'll see it. Its not that his small % of asian genes suddenly shine through its that as he ages his skin droops. Also most people here seem a little biased towards the asian side. Everyones bringing up 7/8 whites and 1/8 asians but what about 7/8 asians and 1/8 whites? Is it likely for a 7/8 asian to be deeply connected with their european roots? Oh and to the 1/4 asian kids that were posted in that picture, once they get older they will look more european. Their nose bridges will develop and they'll get a lot more caucasian features during puberty. For example look at this kid. Zoom the picture out and give him dark brown hair and suddenly he looks asian. farm3.static.flickr.com/2191/1744108921_f36c30d915.jpg?v=0

I get what you're saying about people appearing to be more biased towards the Asian side. In my case,I grew up in Ireland. Spoke English,did everything Western. It makes sense for me to discuss my Asian roots on this forum,as I'm 100% used to my Irish heritage already.

ppl are only biased towards the asian side in western countries b/c its unique. go to asian countries and theyre biased toward the white side. eg in the phillipines, everyone brags about their 1/312p9u4392u843io2u4234oui32oiu432oiu423oiu4oi32u4oi23u4oi32u4 spanish heritage.

Not-whites genes are dominant over white ones. This means a drop of asian blood makes you not-white.

1/3 of white americans have 10-20% black ancestry How can they be white when they are part black? I think there is an hoax in that theory. That kind of thinking only glorifies 'whiteness.' IMO it's saying that white is so precious that any other drop makes it impure whereas other races are lesser and need not be 'pure.' Never said that. For me a drop of white blood makes you not asian or not black. BTW forget that story of dominant genes.

I find your thinking fair Alcal if it's agreed an Asian with one drop of 'other' is no longer Asian or if a black with one drop of other is no longer black. Indeed.
