Is Marcos Maidana chinese ?

You again...

It is ignorance.

I find this thread very funny! I just don't know if most posters are seriously considering that there are migrants all over the world and therefore it's possible to have mixed blood in them.

Because they call him "el Chino" because he looks Asian not because he is. Lots of people in Latin America look that way, people think my girlfriend is Chinese, she´s also from Latin America but some people there have those features.

I saw a few Chinese people in Argentina......

He probably has some in him.

If 1/3 of the world's population is Chinese and 20% of the global human population is of Han descent..... guess what that means for a dude who looks slightly chinese?

Many people think the native American and South American indians have their origins from Asiatics who crossed the Bering Straits.

Well how about lots of the indiginous populations had what can be considered "Asian" looking features. And despite the fact that Argentina had mass immigaration from Europe there are still some people who have those features.

Exactly - look at Mayorga, he looks Asian too.

In his last fight against Cayo, one of the announcer's claimed that he has Chinese ancestry in one of his parent's line. I remember making note of it as my friends and I were discussing it while watching his fight.

It wasn't Lampley, it was some other dude (does the B.A.D. comments).

i love that you are calling people ignorant when you are 100% incorrect.

u are saying that indigenous people of south america can have asian features? he is obviously not 100 percent latino or however you want to label his race. IT IS BECAUSE OF, NOT IN SPITE OF, THE MASS IMMIGRATION FROM EUROPE AND ASIA THAT HE DOES LOOK THAT WAY. study genetics.
