Fashion model and TV presenter Alexa Chung and actress Kristin Kruek, are of European and Chinese ancestry, and possess blue and green eyes respectively.

The gene does not create a blue iris, but rather, it turns off the mechanism that produces brown melanin pigment. Their report, published in the journal ‘Human Genetics’, identified a single mutation in a gene called OCA2, which arose by chance. “It could be the northern part of Afghanistan,” said Professor Hans Eiberg, who led the team. IMO, the reason you 'hate' Asians is because you associate them with all the negative aspects of your life.
