I thought he had sort-of slanted eyes but that's about it; didn't know he actually had some Asian in him. Which of his grandparents is it?
I didn't mean it to be. How about he's from the mother land? Tim Tebow was born in Makati City, Philippines
Butler denies he's asian http://fivecolorblind.blogspot.com/2007/03/caron-butler-accidentally-named-asian.html Saturday, March 3, 2007 Caron Butler Mistakenly Named Asian-American Athlete of the Year Caron Butler Mistakenly Named Asian-American Athlete of the Year. Washington DC- The Asian-American Athletic Association (AAAA) has named the Washington Wizard's Caron Butler as 2007's "Asian-American Athlete of the Year." However, Mr. Butler has refused to accept the award, citing the fact that he is not Asian. Butler's agent, Lou Ross had this comment: " We are deeply honored that the AAAA chose Caron for such a prestigious honor. However, I would like to point out that he's a black man." Unperturbed, AAAA director Michael Chen refused to alter his choice of recipients. "We can tell when somebody is Asian, we think Caron is in denial and that saddens us. There is nothing shameful in being an Asian man, the sooner Mr. Butler recognizes this the sooner we can all move forward." Mr. Chen added, "We know he is not Yao Ming Asian, but we are sure he is Tiger Woods Asian, you know?' The only comment Mr. Butler has offered so far is the cryptic statement that "I thought Asian people were supposed to be smart." Strangely, Mr. Chen takes no offense at this vaguely racist statement since "It is a pernicious stereotype that Asians are smart but unathletic. Unfortunately, even Asian men such as Mr. Butler suffer from this delusion. He needs to recognize that he is living proof that Asians can excel at the highest athletic levels."
