I'm fully white, but have black, thick hair and dark brown eyes and such, so who knows...
Malaysia is a tough country. After Malysian race riots at 1969 a new Economic Policy has been established protecting the Malay country majority race from the business strong Chinese minority. If you're forefather are Japanese and you still look a little bit Japanese, so in many countries people can't differentiate between Japanese and Chinese. I spent some weeks their and in the villages local people are curious and they stared at tourists. Kula Lumpur is different. Nobody cares
