The wiki info re: Enrique Iglesias and Rob Schneider, are true since it's a well-known fact here in the Philippines... and if I remember correctly, Rob Schneider has also visited the Philippines during a Fil-Am event years ago with Tia Carrere and Lou Diamond Philips... Phoebe Cates is been rumored but some said she denied it, I'm not sure about that info...

Another Blasian (Part Filipino) will be Apl.D.Ap of the Black-Eyed Peas... ohhh and Dennis Rodman, too, is part Filipino... *see my erratum on post no.9*

There's a lot more but I'm in a rush right now so those are the only ones I can think off as of this moment... I'll enrich the data later on... or you can enrich/add pic of them Krazoom... lol... Thanks

[Krazoom]

Oh thanks 4jpz! I'll put them in the Blasian section.. WTH Dennis Rodman O_O I had no idea about that one. I met him once while at a bulls game and he is super dark so I had no idea he was mixed.

I kind of always thought Ne-Yo was part Asian Lance but never knew it for sure. His eyes kind of gave it up.

[Lance]

honestly, black people sometimes have similar features to Asians, so when they mix, they basically just look black to me, with very little Asian heritage.

Previously I had thought there were very few black/asians around, but now I realize that there's a lot of them and you don't know it because they just look black.

By the way, featured this article on the front page of Amped Asia so you guys might wanna spice it up a little bit if possible

That is an interesting list and its very surprising list as well.

Rep added Krazoom.

[Krazoom]

Yeah I agree because a lot of Asians have full lips and wide noses (Rain for example) very similar to the features as black people. For me I take on black and Puerto Rican features and none of the Filipino features so it's hard for people to even tell that I am even mixed with Filipino.

You're featuring it O_O woot I made something worthy of being featured!!

O_O Thanks lmFX..

Erratum!!!
uh oh!!! I've got a booboo with regards to Dennis Rodman!!! Since his estranged father was living here in the Philippines I automatically assumed that he's Filipino but I can't find a source to validate my claim on my earlier post... sorry for the misinfo :down on knees:

Wow O_O so many part Asians I didn't know about! And yea it is hard to figure out half-black/half-asian because I known a couple of them and one of my best friend's is half-black and half-filipino, and the asian part of him is not noticeable at all. Everyone just assumes he's black and on paper, he just says he's black lol. Sometimes I forget he is part asian 0_0
