Her father is half Chinese so she is only a quarter Chinese. She is 3/4 English.
Her father is not half Chinese, he is 3/4 Chinese so how did you work out that she is 3/4 English?
Her English and Chinese heritige will be pretty equal. What would it be, like… 3/8 Chinese and 5/8 English??
Defnitely not 3/4 English anyhow.
her eyes look chinese.
I like her. I can relate with not looking Asian at all, I have some Asian in me, and you would not think it. At all.
she looked mixed
also her surname gave it away
Wow…. She looks all english… I only thought she was chinese because of her last name.. Genetics are crazy! lol
I wouldn’t say Alexa looks all English, she does look a little bit “exotic” (sorry can’t find a better word) but you wouldn’t necessarily think she’s part East Asian. I met a girl who was half Chinese half English and she was naturally blond. She didn’t look English or Chinese, I couldn’t quite figure out what race she was until she said. I thought she was Russian. And I have a friend who’s half Chinese half Scottish and he looks more Chinese. Genetics are weird, fascinating how people turn out.
