OMG! I can finally sleep now that I am certain Russell, the cute kid in Disney/Pixar’s Up, is in fact Asian. I mean, just look at the colour scripts for the film — Pixar was sensitive enough to have foreseen debates around Russell’s background and provided us confused and lost Asians with these handy colour scripts. Because we all know that those 45 degree, upward lines in place of eyes are codes for “Asian.”
All those online debates about Russell’s ethnic background can end now. After these scripts, there cannot be any more debate. The verdict is clear: Russell is one of us.

I think that it was pretty obvious at the end that Russell is Asian when you see his mother at the Wilderness Explorer ceremony.

Whoever wrote this article is clearly an idiot.
Also, it's clearly a spoof cartoon character of Martin Scorsese.

wow. whoever wrote Christin's comment is clearly an idiot.
Also, it's clearly a spoof of how there is so much hype and confusion over the character's ethnicity.
