The tabloids have been all over him, accusing of him of having an affair with a third grade teacher. Here is a picture of him was some young college students in a bar whose parties he crashed. Jon doesn’t admit to cheating on his wife, but cites “bad judgment” on his part.  Looks like Jon doesn’t have the problem of white girls not having anything to do with him, but he does seem to have the problem of turning red when he drinks.

For asian-americans, I would think you could extrapolate the genetic features. However, the statistics were strictly over Japanese and Korean populations (those living there). I suppose for "metabolic disorder", which is diabetes, obesity, etc., and other environmentally dependent diseases, one can't say they're lower. Once the diet changes, that has a big effect. Example: Carbon is the backbone to all molecular life. about 70% of the carbon in American's bodies comes from corn and corn syrup. In Asians (not asian-americans), it comes from rice, of course. yeah. For asian-americans, I would think you could extrapolate the genetic features.

I also heard that Asians and Asian-Americans have way higher rates of GI cancers - like stomach cancer.

Why does it happen? No idea. Scientific reason: thousands of years of inbreeding usually eliminates rather than adds evolutionary features. Nationalistic reason: "cause asians are pure race!" hahaha. More interesting info: Recently a fellow Korean in my lab went to a presentation. There we pleasantly found out that asians have the lowest frequency of cancer, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. I'll take that anyday over getting made fun of at the bar over alcohol.... Oh sure thing. Why does it happen? No idea.
