why’d you remove Japanese from his ethnicity, ethnic? because there is no proof that he is part Japanese and just a rumor on the Internet?
I heard this a long time ago, not sure why people are surprised..his mother was half white, meaning she carries recessive genes which she passed to her kid…same how wentworth miller’s half white dad passed recessive genes to him
oh please, he is not 1/4 japanese. he looks 100% white.
that’s stUpid when someone says: he looks white ,. sooo whattt that’s because he is alot white but if your mixed you can look whatever ,.so and he’s got the round nose and the asian eyes and thick hair ..alot of mixed asiankids have the look about them only more of them have light brown hair because they’re 1/2 but he is also other “things”
I guess Elena might be right Japanese has been removed maybe it was from an untrue source?
this is the deal if your stunning like that yah have to be mixed because it takes “two”( or more haha) To create something verryyy special speciment(like that/ like him) duhhhhhhh and I coulden’t quite figure out what he was , but I notived
the thick bristle-like hair ..but..ash/dark-blond
the button nose at the end ..bit slim at the top,..
the blue/greengray/ eyes ..but a mysterious hue
the full lips…but pink and slim-formed
so I was like he’s scandinavian and russian (or something)..
and yet russians have trace of mongolian ancestry so I probably wasn’t that far off haha
Mongolian = Mongoloid
Wow.
So you really are a racist, disgusting, elitist piece of shit! I thought so. Chad is not gorgeous because of his race, and the fact that you think we are superior to other people because of our race proves what a scumbag you truly are.
By the way, I do not find Chad stunning.
your web name fits your comment ( and how can you think/thought so if you don’t know so,..atleast I don’t curse like you whaha)
MaYbe I was defending him because some people always want somebody to be plain white , ..you don’t know whY,..O wait then again you do,.. or at least thought so (O_o)
Because you continuously make racist remarks. You just made another one; plain white.
Defending him of what? According to sources, he has never even said he was part Japanese. That is why the owner of this site removed it from his ethnicity, as there is no credible source.
There are mixed people who look nothing but white, yes, but you do not have to “defend” their heritage by in turn being a bigot, which is what you are. You have made several comments about how mixed people are superior.
“this is the deal if your stunning like that yah have to be mixed because it takes “two”( or more haha) To create something verryyy special speciment(like that/ like him) duhhhhhhh”
Ignorant, racist remark made by you. You were not defending anyone, only projecting your insecurities onto others. I bet you are hideous, and that is why you feel the need to promote that mixed race people are better than others. It is sad that people actually gave you a thumbs up for that comment. Proves that this site is riddled with racist trash quite like yourself.
The funny thing is is that he is not even a quarter Japanese. *laughs*
I thought that he somewhat looks different from White.
I guessed him as german or germanic
but
his nose isnt so high like other white boys indeed.
Look at his face in many pics
white or cocasusian nose go down straight from the gap between eyes . And very high
asian not.
Down between eyes and rises a little bit later at least.
