How many NRL players have some Asian ethnicity?

Wing is a half Filipino Australian who has adopted Japanese nationality for sports purposes, but who is still ethnic Filipino, not Japanese.

These are some of the best looking guys in the NRL, except for Matt Srama and Shane Gray.

Now that Kevin Gordon has grown his Fu Manchu beard he looks more Asian, which is good for the game.

Snake must have some chinese in him. Maybe 5th generation.

Snake has a "lazy eye" which is almost cross eyed, and it is a miracle that he can see well enough to catch the football. It has nothing to do with his ethnicity, but perhaps something to do with a birth defect.

Nobody who lives in what we call Asia thinks of themselves as Asian.


Their identity is Indonesian, Thai, Cambodian, Laotian, Chinese, etc etc.


A person who lives in Thailand, for example, does not identify themselves as being similar to people who live in Japan.


In that sense, there is no such place as Asia.
This deserves a funny story.
At my work about 2 years ago, 3 women from different Asian countries were talking together and a young Maori guy asks me, "are they all cousins?" He was serious!
