Vanessa Hudgens is not eurasian. Eurasians are people who live on the opposite side of the Ural Mountains in Russia- closer to Asia. I believe she is Filipina and white American mixture which makes her a biracial american. As far as I know- from what I am reading she is not Russian nor any of the Asian ethnic groups that make up a Eurasian person.
