Jon & Kate Plus 8: Kate Wishes She was Korean
Jon Gosselin is one-half Korean, but he looks like he has more than one-half Asian blood in him. Kate appears to be 100 percent Caucasian. You'd think that out of eight children, at least half would look pretty much Caucasian, or, at least, have fair-colored hair. Instead, all eight Gosselin kids look Korean. "The Korean gene is very dominant," Kate said in a recent episode, quoting (I believe) Jon's mother.
In this particular episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, Kate was reading e-mails from fans, and one of the fans asked how she felt about the fact that all the kids looked Korean. For people out there who flunked Genetics 101, Jon & Kate's kids are three-fourths Caucasian and only one-fourth Asian (Korean). But anyone who has watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 knows that these kids look nearly 100 percent Asian.
Kate explained that she has always wanted her kids to "look like Jon." She talked about having daughters who looked like "little China dolls." She said she wished she herself were Korean. But what Kate doesn't realize is that the children, at least some of them, have also inherited her looks as well. In a previous article of mine, I explain how Kate has a nearly flawless face.
You may despise Kate for the way she often treats Jon, which includes yelling at him in public during one of her histrionic fits, and you may loathe Kate for blowing up at her kids when they make an innocent mistake. But the fact is, her face would probably fit the "beauty mask" that was developed by a facial surgeon, Stephen Marquardt, MD. This mask template is based upon the Golden Ratio, which is the ratio of 1 to 1.618. People whose facial components meet this ratio have so-called beautiful faces.

Though the profile of Kate's nose could be a little softer, her frontal view shows what could possibly be a fashion model's face. If this is hard to imagine, then you must forget for a moment that she's given birth to eight kids.
And those kids have a mixture of Jon's Korean traits, and Kate's facial structure. As they get older, especially the girls, it will become more evident that they have also inherited Kate's looks. Asian genes indeed are dominant over "white" genes. What's fascinating to wonder about is what the offspring of Jon & Kate's kids will look like if they have babies with 100 percent Caucasian people.
Will the Korean gene still show at that point? One of my former personal training clients was a 74-year-old white man, whose wife was Japanese. He showed me a photo of a few of his great-grandkids. I could see the Asian traits in their eyes, but it was ever so subtle. The rest of them looked "white." But because Kate's kids still look so Asian despite being only one-fourth Korean, it's a sure bet that most of their kids will have a definite Asian appearance, making them uniquely attractive.

Post a Commenti think white people are unattractive, and look like albinos. i can see why they all want to get tans. their hairiness also makes them look unevolved. i also notice that most white men bald by the time theyre 30. it also seems like most white people are overweight. a 30 yr old white person will probably look like he is 40 or 50 while a 30 yr old korean is likely to look 20. some white girls may look ok when theyre 18, but when you see them again at age 28, you definitely change your mind quick.
While we all know that whites are more attractive than asians by alot - i think some of the anti-asian posts here are appalling and disgust me.
if this show was about a white couple having 8 kids these days it wouldnt air this american society is killing off the white race promoting hatred from loving your own breed is a way to become extinct, also our society promotes mostly whites to be homosexual vote for a new president in 2012 or all will be lost
jon looks full asian. his kids look asian too. theyre darker than he is.
Hm...sorry, apparently there's a cut off limit on how much I can write.
Anyway, as I was saying. In my opinion none of them really look full Asian with the exception of Maddy. Asian genes are not more dominant than Caucasians. Yes, certain traits like eye and hair color are, but that's really about it. What a child looks like is generally a blend of their parents features.
Monolids are generally associated with Asians, but not all Asians have monolids (my family is full and that is one physical trait that doesn't run in our family). Asians features vary among ethnicity and region in which their ancestors came from. By the way, some of the kids do have brownish hair. That's usually an indicator that the child is mix when it comes to Asians. Although, if they spend a lot of time outside the sun will bleach their hair to a lighter shade.
Coming from a full Asian-American I don't think Jon looks full Asian. He looks about as full Asian as Kristin Kreuk. Asians can usually tell if another Asian is full or mix. The complexion and certain features differ. Not all of us might be able to pin point what is different, but we know there's something there that is different. I could care less either way. The kids are healthy and beautiful. But I needed to point that out. Jon has hazel eyes, and his complexion is slightly more pinkish.
If you look at Devon Aoki, who's also mix and looks nearly full Japanese to most people, there's something different about her. It's her complexion.
As for the kids, a few of them look more than 1/4 Asian but aside from Maddy, they all look mix to me.
Aside of their dark hair there's really nothing that make them look any more or less Asian than anyone else. You can't really say that have "Asian" eyes because monolids (which by the way I don't have even though I'm full) are associated with Asia
we are all the same. "race" doesn't exist. we are all africans. for those of us from outside of africa, some of our ancestors just left earlier than others. too much hate for this stage of the game.
Here is a clip of Kate wishing she was Asian and saying "the more Asian her kids looked, the better".

Wow, Horton, you are one stupid, ignorant, racist cunt.
This article is a supreme example of subtle racism, pretending to be objective in considerations of race when it is in fact very narrow-minded and the author is completely ignorant of her own... well, ignorance. The kids don't look "totally Korean", they don't all have the same amount of "asian-ness" and there is no "dominant korean gene". Historically, being "white" or caucasian has always been linked with notions of racial purity. Any amount of non-white blood (no matter how small) make a mixed-race person "non-white". Therefore, to remain white (and appear white), one must be pure - no impurities. And given this longstanding subtly racist view, it's not surprising that a small amount of "Asian-ness" will look pronounced & exaggerated to many white people. Cue national discussions by white people perplexed by "dominant korean genes".
