    Nice mix. I figured he was Eurasian. Japanese, Chinese and Korean? How does that happen? lol At first I was just thinking Japanese and European but the others are interesting. Some Koreans, Chinese and Japanese mated along the ways on his mom side. intriguing background he has. And his dad, Russian and Scottish? That’s rare!
