Asian EA. Syn's got my back on this plus a few others can vouch especially the pics from my pictrail.
Maybe we can have a little friendly competition poll?
Out of all of us this site who looks the most Asian or who looks the most white.

(lol) that most hapas that are mixed with korean, chinese, and japanese tend to look a bit more asian. it's like the asian genes within those backgrounds are a bit more dominant. and then with the other asian backgrounds, it's a coin toss. many look non-asian at all, some look obviously mixed, etc. i dunno.. just my observations from the hapas i've encountered in the past and it's not always true too. like i notice with german and asian mixes.. asian usually sticks more. but with irish or scottish and asian mixes.. they sometimes tend to look a bit more mixed. probably the whole hair/eye color genetic stuff. |

yeah, it's definitely a coin toss, but i'd say you may be one to something as to which ethnicities are more dominant...

I'm one of the "hispanic" looking EAs. People assume it all the time.

I sure hope intelligence is not recessive haha. |

People think I'm middle eastern, usually Turkish or Palestinian. It's even better when I talk about Israel's lack of reason to exist.

I'd consider myself 50/50 or 60 Asian/40 Caucasian.
My Asian traits are:
- high cheekbones
- weak chin
- naturally thin eyebrows
My White traits are:
- fair skin(but with a tan it looks like Asian skin)
- prominent nose
- teeth(not shovel-shaped like Asian teeth)
Everything else about me is a mix though.
- My hair is black and straight, but it has a Caucasian texture and placement to it. I can't emulate most Caucasian or Asian hairstyles but I don't really try either.
- My jaw is quite broad and prominent. I've seen bigger jaws but mine is a unique shape.
- Eyes aren't quite Asian but they aren't Caucasian.
- Really hairy legs but nearly hairless upper body and face.
- my skull shape doesn't fit in with any race or subrace I know of.

Some White folks have high cheekbones but virtually all Asians have them. You could say they are a White and Asian trait but they're more common in Asians.

I LIKE the 'half-asian' look. Why be half-asian if you don't look like it?
Although I have to join Hezbollah soon because I look a bit Turkish...
