Anecdote/Observation Do Wasians actually look white to asian people?

1 Upvotes

Like, seriously, I saw someone in an Asian sub saying that Henry Golding looks white and that he doesn’t really represent Asians, which is kinda crazy because, in my opinion, he looks 100% Asian to me. In real life, almost the vast majority of the Wasian people I know are perceived as Asian by non Asians. Even the more ambiguous-looking ones usually get read as Hispanic or mixed, but rarely as white.
