Yes. He's not big, 6', 225 or so but he's in ridiculous shape at his age. It's sad really. He's nearly twice my age and can still beat me at most everything I do. And he doesn't let me forget it either. I remember working out with him right after I got home from the mission at Quantico and he was repping 300lbs on the bench press without a spotter. I am too embarrassed to post what I was lifting...mission arms, mission arms.

1/2 Japanese. My mom came to the states after she was baptized.

1/2 English/French/Irish, some sort of mix

When I was younger, I used to get asked all the time what I was mixed with. (Usually by older men, so it was a little creepy when they'd smile and say, "good mix" when I told them.) People usually guess wrong, that I'm part Chinese, Vietnamese, Philipino. Except for other Asians-- they all can guess with the first try that I'm part Japanese.

Also, I frequently get honked and yelled at by truckloads of waving Mexican immigrants when I drive on the freeway. So from a distance, maybe I look Latina

That's funny, my wife is 1/4 Korean. Mexicans are always hitting on her, thinking she is Latina. When we lived in Arizona for a while, I felt the need to be a little protective of her.

100% western european mutt. There may be some mediterranean somethign in there, however, as I do brown up pretty nicely in the summer sun.

I too, have been honked at by truckloads of immigrants, but I don't think it was fo rmy bronze skin. They were also waving fingers.

I am:

1/8 German
1/8 Brazilian
3/4 Welsh/English/whatever else

My maternal grandmother was born in Brazil to a Brazillian father (don't know where his ancestors were from; perhaps Germany) and German mother.
Maternal grandfather's main ancestry was Scottish I think
Paternal Grandfather's line comes from Wales, settled in Malad with the other Welsh peoples
Maternal Grandmother's line from England-ish.

Because my last name is Welsh, I share something in common with the following people:
