many mexicans have asian genes, some of them look like filipinos. someone who’s mixed with asian and mexican looks pretty much asian.
Well a lot of Asian were taken to Mexico, including Filipinos. So it’s. No surprise that some would look asian
No they don’t. She just happens to have an Asian mother and a Mexican father. Most mexicans or mestizos. Spanish and native mix.
