A lot of 'white' actors have done this as well, Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman, Charlie Sheen all changed their more ethnic names to more convential ones. Did you know Natalie Portman was Jewish? I sure as hell didn't 
There have been lots of articles about how Asians (from China, etc) have been getting plastic surgery to look more Hapa (mixed ethnicity). It doesn't suprise me really though, look at all the famous Asian actresses, even in Asian magazines they look mixed. |
What defines "white"? Because Charlie Sheen is part Latino (I think Mexican on his dad's side, right?). Is everything that "looks" white enough white, or everything that isn't too mixed up with say Oriental/Asian, African or whatever?
In some states having only "1 drop of colored blood" still defines that one IS colored, period. No matter how lily white your skin is. Hmmmm. Food for thought.
