Are you the resident expert in how Native Americans look amir nas? My great grandfather was full blooded Native American from the Seneca Nation and his nose was small. Have you even seen or met Native Americans up close than what you see on tv? I have. I still keep in contact with my Seneca relatives. And he wasn't red but brown. I've seen old pictures of my great grandfather. He could definately pass for being Latino since most Latinos in the Us are part Native/indigineous to begin with, and some angles he could pass for being Filipino. No problem. I know that some pictures of Natives have been drawn to show them having long crooked noses,,,it's just not true. They have a variety of noses. Native indigineous people live all the way from Alaska down to South America. There is bound to be variety. My nose in fact isn't from my filipino mother at all. She has a flat and wide almost negroid type nose. I actually get my small non filipino nose from my native American Great grandfather. And that's probably why even though I am only half asian like most of you, I look more Asian than most. EVen though I am half asian, some "white people" in my family already have almond shaped eyes they got from my great grandad. I posted a pic of my "white cousin" in the dissection thread and most people think he has chinese type eyes. Which isn't the case at all. He has Native American eyes.

^ yes i have seen native americans IRL... i wasnt generalising and saying all native americans have crooked noses. i know also that theres different ethnic groups.. hopi's from new mexico for example look a lot like tibetans and they say so themselves. [they have a thing with tibet - they say we are their brothers from accross the ocean etc] so i take it back. i was only commenting on his nose. maybe bcos i have an irrational and unfair bias because i get upset when people say native americans come from china - not true... cos he's part chinese.. sorry i take it back
nevermind me

One of my husband's friends has a girlfriend who is half Iranian/half Chinese-filipino. SHe works for Disney. She initially tried out for a Jasmine role but was told she didn't have the look despite being half persian.
She then tried out for Mulan since she was part Asian. Was told she didn't have the look to play Mulan either.
Disney later called her back to take a job as Pochahontas. One of her friends who happens to be half Asian(Vietnamese) and Half Navajo......got a job as Mulan....
So according to the casting people...both women had the look for roles that weren't part of their ethnic makeup at all!

Does anyone know if Andrew Firestone (Firestone Family Estates and Bachelor 3) is adopted....i know this is abit far out there, but he looks so EA compared to his family who look really white... He is in the top right hand corner. Here he is with his brother. I have no knowledge of him whatsoever but i think there is a chance he was an Amerasian that was adopted by the Firestone family.

Jamie Cullum I had no suspicion until i saw his nose in an interview (i know i usually dont notice these things) and thought hmm....hes nose isnt so narrow. and then coincidentally he mentioned that his surname is infact scottish but he was nowhere near Scottish, his father is German/British/Jewish, his mother is Burmese. I just found out Jamie Cullum IS EA!! (He's part Burmese)... Also (for the ppl in UK, who are like me - sad enough to know who they are...) Andy Scott Lee & Lisa Scott Lee are 1/4 Chinese! ... and I've always thought Ashley Cole has something Blasian-ish about him... (but maybe I should get back to work now)

Probably not but Anderson Luis de Souza Deco, he was born in Brazil so i was thinking he could have some Japanese & Portuguese in him.
