i know its not the answer your looking for............youve already got that but - i always wondered about Chris Choi on various programmes but clearly not chinese? : )

Sorry if this is off topic, but that word "oriental" is offensive and only ignorant people use that word now. It's "ASIAN". I have plenty of Asian friends who would find being called "oriental" to be the equivalent of calling African-Americans the "n" word. I had no idea people still used that word, but then again there's so many ignorant people in this world...

Derr because she is mixed. Dosent mean that she look white they have to look asian. Its all in the jeans. White peoples genes are much stronger than asian genes.
