        I agree with Roger Scientist. She’s highly overrated. I’ve seen prettier Eurasians in real life who aren’t even famous. It’s funny how Asians love to hype up Eurasians, and have them represent their race instead of full Asians. Just look at Miss Philippines. She’s half white, and you know how much Filipinos love mixed Filipinos. Even in their telenovelas. All the Filipino actors are mixed with white. Smh! It’s not just Asian people who do this. Black people love hyping up mulatto people and having them represent the black race and black beauty. Just look at Halle Berry, Paula Patton, etc…. They’re called “black actresses” when clearly they look mixed.

      The whitest looking Asian I’ve ever seen. Even Keanu Reeves who is less Asian than her, looks more Asian.
