Genetic Musings...

Update: I've received cute pics from Jade and my dear friend Celeste Peterson brought to my atttention Keanue Reaves so I am encouraged so far! I also hear loud and clear CC's comments.

Jonah and I are deciding whether or not to procreate at some point in the future.

It comes down to this: What do 1/4 Asians look like?

If you know any, send me pics and I'll upload them.

We'll then be able to make an informed decision.

I don't think he or she is not going to look anything like Asian. My roomate is 1/4 of Native American, and he look nothing like Native American. I think the best you are going to get out from a 1/4 of Asian is going to be "American" It's going to look like an American.

"Don't you like that one day that every race in the world would turn out be a single race? They are going have the same color of skin, and there would be no Asian look , there would be no White, black, Hispino, there are only going to be people of this globe, I wonder how they would call themselves, the 'globle people' or 'earthian', I am also wonder the color of skin of the 'earthian' is going to look like, light brown, brown perhaps, maybe dirt looking."

Just an thought

Hopefully we won't have to call ourselves anything. It seems that that's where the trouble really starts.

CC: What does an "American" look like? Just wondering...

Posted by: J at October 18, 2005 7:01 PM

why, WHY, would anyone respond to this idiotic post? I can't think of anything more vapid and superficial than worrying about what your kids are going to look like. How about worrying about their character?

How about learning how to spot irony, sarcasm, and jokes?

Keren Ann is 1/4 Asian. There was a picture of her in the last NYT mag section.

i think the point here is this: the mo' colors the mo' bettah.

extrapolate what you will -- which dog is more likely to suffer a genetic disease: a mutt or a purebred?

Don't procreate.

I think they all of them are right, look is not everything, however, when you are part of other race, it is always interesting to see how they would turn out. You are half of Asian, but in my own opinion, you look nothing like Asian(I growth up in Taiwan, until I am 17) I can see trace of feature that resamble Asian in your face, but overall , if you walk on the street of Taiwan, Korea, Japan, people can tell you are a mix right away. If I am luckly enough, I would like to have a half asian and half white mix, if it look as pretty as your are, I would be really happy.

Go to Hawaii and look around!

Oh yeah, Dean Cain (actor) and Ron Darling (former Mets pitcher) are 1/4 Asian. Dean Cain is 1/4th Japanese and Ron Darling's mom is Chinese/Hawaiian like me, does that count?
