Jon’s father’s ancestry is French-Canadian, Irish, and Welsh. Jon’s mother was born and raised in Hawaii, of Korean descent. This was stated in the Korean American Journal.
Jon and Kate’s children have also inherited Jon’s Korean looks. When asked to comment about this, Jon’s mother stated that the “Korean gene is very strong.” Kate said that she wanted her kids to look like Jon and that she always wanted little “China dolls.”
Jon’s paternal grandfather was Joseph Gosselin (the son of Frank Louis Gosselin and Kathleen/Catherine Lang/Long). Joseph was born in Massachusetts, and was of French-Canadian descent. Louis was born on Prince Edward Island. Kathleen was born in Madawaska, New Brunswick, the daughter of François-Xavier Long and Adèle Ouellette.

He is also descended from Françoise Grenier/Garnier several times. According to geni.com, she was a Native Canadian woman, but pretty much all other genealogy sites states that she was a French immigrant. If she was a Native Canadian, it would make Jon’s father of somewhere between 1/256 and 1/512 Native Canadian descent, but it does not seem to be completely clear what her ancestry was.

Asiatic eyes ruin potentially good looking men.
So literally racist? Even though you’re like Pakistani or something?
I wonder where his Korean mom got this eye gene from
He is hideous.
I knew for a fact he was half Asian the first time I saw him… but he goes more towards his White side in terms of how he acts.
What are Asians supposed to act like? And for that matter I know white British people act different from shite American Southerners, so is he acting British white, southern Smerican white or Canadian white even?
