Asiatic eyes are so unattractive on men. They’re too feminine.
Maybe Mike Shinoda is an exception.
But seriously…YUCK!
“Asiatic”, “Yuck”?
Nah, he looks alright. You are just a stupid racist cunt.
Build a bridge you defeated fool. Not everyone has your taste on men. Many people just don’t find Mongoloid eyes attractive.
Cry a river, you little worthless dog.
He looks like a lot of Mestizo Mexicans and other Latin Americans. I knew he was something else other than white,
He does not look mestizo. He looks euroasian!
It’s just eyes. Not everybody with slanted eyes are Mestizo…
Your definition of white is unintentionally wrong, you’ve made a fool of yourself on many pages. Please stop
Even as a young child watching him in Lois and Clark, I knew he was different then. Always figured he had some type of mixture in him besides Caucasian. It’s interesting to see him play so many roles of Caucasian men when he’s more than a 3rd Japanese. I always wish I had Asian ancestry lol. Big fan of Japanese culture. But I’m African, English, Scottish, Navajo and i’ll take that. :-D
no. he is half japanese.
He’s actually a quarter Japanese. His father is half Japanese half white and his mom is fully white.
Wrong. Did you read? His father is 3/4 Japanese. His mother is white.
he is half chinese
