My ideal vision of a Pure Han beauty is this:

Han/Tibetan mix

lol. I do frequent Chinese traditional regalia forums to view the artistic renditions. I found this picture there. Fair , elegant, ethereal, delicate are the words that describe this Han woman.

@Nihonjin1051

Do Japanese see Japanese Americans as "Japanese" or "Americans" ?

hi,
from my obeservation within the same race the 1st born tends to look like the younger of the parents, 2nd likes the older & 3rd unlikes both of them.
i presume the younger's genes are stronger & thus dominant in their 1st born but the older gene dominance kicks in after that.

Is there a dominant gene even among crossed marraiges...like white, asians etc...?

When it comes to half Japanese, half white, the only person coming to mind is Maria Ozawa, lol.

Zheng Saisai of China in US open. She has Tibetan father and Han Mother.

Frankly the Han is a mixed race with so many difference race merged together..
So I think it is hard to find a typical Han man or women..
Actually people are quite different from place to place within the Han Chinese.
Han is not pure as Japanese or Korea....

You are totally wrong. Han people's Y DNA is highly concentrated on small number of subgroups,with more than 50% in O3, while Korean's is more diversified, Japanese is even more diversified than korean.

There is a high degree of diversification of haplogroups in Korean, Japanese, Han (Southern and Han), actually:

Why you talk about DNA...
Han is a mixed race, that is for sure..
Even Cantonese have more DNA relationship with minority yet they are still Han...
Similar appearance, same culture and written language, then it`s han..
Actually Korean and Japanese can also call them Han if they want...
people wont care the DNA, only the appearance and culture..

yes, in real life nobody cares about this DNA shit and that's good from every point of view. But when it comes to history or science, when scientists are doing research to answer those basic questions like "who am I, where am I from", they have to get some scientifically verified thing to back up their assumptions, and they usually have clear definition on who is who. That's why DNA is always cared about. So like you said everybody can claim whoever s/he is as long as s/he is comfortable with it, but scientifically it is true or not is another issue, and may not be always acknowledged officially. like, If you are an Asian American and claim yourself as African originated to get AA benefits for college application, you will get screwed up.
