i had black hair when i was born. i'm a natural blonde now.

i still think the kid is wearing a wig.

I realize it's possible but having never personally seen it...just seemed odd.

Do you have baby pictures to post? I bet your baby's cuter!

My daughter and I were both born with a full head of very dark hair. I think Suri looks like she's wearing a hat in all but the first picture.. a dark hat. I think she looks a lot like Katie around the eyes. I can also say that my son, who is now blond haired/blue eyed, looked Asian when he was born, so who knows?

I can't stop looking at this kid. I don't know why.

Thank you.

I was taught that things from the Orient -- rugs, food, furniture, etc. etc. are ORIENTAL.

People are Asian.

Exactly.

And I'm weirded out by Suri. Creepy. There's something really strange going on.

My apologies... all the terms were different in my era. I stand corrected.

Although I am a little wierded out by the hair, I must admit that I was born with really dark hair also. I don't think that its uncommon for mexican babies to be born with a lot of really dark hair, but the hair usually does get A LOT lighter.

Also, a Filipino friend of mine was once pointed out as "Oriental" by a Mary Kay consultant at chapter. She whispered to the girl next to her "She thinks I'm Chinese"

So even applied to people... it's not just "Asian" it's a discrete area.

A lot of babies have "Asian-looking" eyes for the first few months, I agree. I was also born with a full head of black hair, and it got lighter before my first birthday.

i completely agree with the weirdness of the hair... i thought (at first glance) that it was dyed!

This Mary Kay consultant needs to get a clue.

I'm half Filipino and I always get mistaken for Chinese. Sorry, my slant eyes are because I'm also part Japanese.

Generally speaking though, it's ASIAN. Not ORIENTAL.

It is "just" Asian until people are able to decipher the specific groups.

I can tell Chinese from Japanese from Filipino, for example, however many people can not and they end up offending people and sounding ignorant.
