My mother is black and my father is Filipino. I got the best of both worlds.
I don't feel I have to defend myself for being English or for being Irish, because, in a way, I don't feel either. And, in another way, of course, I'm both.
It would be great if people could guess right off that I am Japanese-Finnish-American. But then I'd have to be wearing a kimono and pulling a reindeer.
I'm half-Welsh, half-Russian. My maternal grandmother is Russian. I've very much a mongrel, which is good in a way because it makes me quite a blank canvas.
I come from a mixed background - my mom's black, my dad's white - and I traveled around the world.
Most of my background is Filipino and partly Chinese, but mostly Filipino.
I'm, like, half Norwegian and half Italian.
I'm mixed, and I'm proud of that.
My look is 'Poly'n'Asian' - part Polynesian native, part Asian warrior.
I'm a bit of a mongrel, really!
Winston Churchill was not entirely British. His mother was American, making Sir Winston part Iroquois Indian.
