    this kid is clearly part asian or some sort of mongoloid mix. i mean look at him, he’s so exotic looking. his eyes are very mongoloid looking, nose, mouth, shape of his face and so on.. he must be racist of ashamed of his roots..

    • hahaha says:

      You think EVERYONE is Native American.

      • great says:

        no actually think he’s part asian.. and i only think people are native american when they look it.. and some even admit they are. glad some are not ashamed of their roots.

    • rita says:

      Your probably of mongoloid and badly want a good looking white boy to be asian. Well sorry to burst your bubble, he is a white boy. If you focused less on the asian race you’d easily notice that justins nose is quite white in terms of race.

    And also, can you tell if someone is Catholic by their last name, the answer is no.

    • Celine says:

      How can you tell if someone is Catholic by their surname?
      I’m Catholic, but have only taken up the religion since 2008.
      So my last name wouldn’t randomly change to a ‘Catholic one.’

    @ wernergerman
    Isn’t Jewish a religion and not a race or nationality.
