Who's hotter, Sasha or Tanith? -- NOW were getting to their area of expertise.
Rohene Ward is half Puerto Rican and half african-american. He has the type of hair that african-americans have. I see him twice a week.
What about Chris and Cathy Reed? They're names are not Japanese.
I think Patrice Lauzon is part native american.
Olivier Schoenfelder is part German
Is Patrice Archetto part italian? Archetto sounds italian.

Melissa Gregory - 1/2 Jewish
Slutskaya - 1/2 Jewish
Averbukh

Puerto Rican father, Jewish mother.Does anyone know was ethnicity Ben Agosto is?

I forgot to mention this but a lot of ppl in Japan speculate that Miki Ando's heritage is of Korean ancestry because the kanji used to write the "ki" in the name "Miki" is the character that means "princess" which is commonly used in Korean names. But either way her nationality is Japanese (duh-sorry for stating an obvious).
Yeah people do sepculate that Miki might be Korean heritage but Miki(Princess) isn't uncommon in Japan either. I doubt that she has the korean heritage.
