His Mongoloid side is Hawaiian and Chinese, w/ the majority(I think) of his heritage being European. But what % of Asian/Mongoloid would you assign to him based on his appearance? I can personally see the Asian, but a lot of people might not be able to. What do you think? Poll coming up...

It's more evident in some pictures than others. It also depends a lot on his style and what age he was when the picture was taken. He has a pretty cool look.

His mother is English while his father, who is a Hawaiian-born American, has Native Hawaiian, Chinese, and Portuguese ancestry. Reeves has said: "My grandmother is Chinese and Hawaiian, so I was around Chinese art, furniture and cuisine when I was growing up".
He must be around 75% Euro, 12.5% Chinese, 12.5% Pacific Islander.

I remember being surprised after finding out that he's part Chinese but now I can kinda see it - mostly eyes and nose.

Just the eyes stand out as non-white. The face shape, straight-based and long nose, sharp lips, stature and everything aren't suspect.

People from Finland are 7% Mongoloid. Slavics are 4%. If you use people from Finnish/Slavics as base for your judgment , and let alone the blondism, does he look more than 10% ?

I don't think the Asian is that noticeable in him, he looks more European in his face shape. I'd say 15%.

That must've been a huge compliment for you lol ... He's quite a handsome man indeed, no homo. He looked very cool in the 1995 Hollywood flick 'Johnny mneumonic'...definitely one of my favs of his apart from The Matrix and his most recent John Wick franchise.

It's visible. He looks like 20-25% Asian.

3% Chinese. His Hawaiian (and Native American) ancestry is far higher than that, and is evident on his features.

Yep, I only saw that. My initial estimation was right for Asian

Keanu Reeves, is 1/32 Chinese(3.125%) and 7/32 Hawaiian (21.875%).

His father looks more Polynesian/Polynesid than Chinese, but Keanu looks more Chinese/Sinid influenced than his father. I think Keanu even exhibits Nordsinid/NorthernChinese/Japanese physical-facial traits...his father not as much as him.

I think he got lots of his looks from his mother though. His mother on the left, sister on the right:
