  My friends told me that if a person is really pure chinese, the person will have really fair skin and brown eyes. Is there any scientific evidence to back that claim up? Or just a rumour?

  Did your friends also tell you what the colour of the eyes would be if the person was not a descendant of pure Chinese blood?

  actually it really intrigue me cos I have extremely fair skin and light brown eyes. When I was young I had reddish hair and now its more like copper brown. And no, Im not an albino or mixed blood. Perhaps the insufficient production of melanin and pigments? But there was a girl who has same characteristics as me so I just wondered if there was any connection.

  I'm very sure Katie Leung is pure East Asian, and not mixed with European or Paki blood.

  No way. 1.8 m is very tall (is that an average height??). Even guys around me are mostly below that height.
  
  I am not tall at all.

  Pure Chinese as in pure "han" blood or what? Is there really a pure chinese in the first place??
  
  But if you ask whether there is pure hakka, cantonese, teochew or fujian.. then not likely..

  hmm....definition of pure chinese is quite subjective eh. Maybe very deep chinese roots?
