    Was watching the Jazz-Mavs game right now, and suddenly thought...doesn't Caron Butler look a bit Asian?

    Then googled it...he's 1/4 Filipino.

    Nothing big...carry on :cool:.

    Actually, you are right. I always thought he looked a bit different, but thought it was just the way the genes played out.

    Thx for the info.

    WTF is wrong with you??? Clearly Yao is white, Big man with good shooting touch and post moves ala Pau Gasol. Just cus hes never played in the Euroleague doesnt mean you have to put him down and say hes asian.
