Random, probably ignorant observation
This is just in my own experience. Someone will probably jump in the comments and point out gaping exceptions. But anyway...
I know several half-Japanese, Half-western people, and a few half-Chinese, Half-western people.
The bulk of the half-chinese people I know tend to look predominantly Asian. Once you know one of their parents is white, you can see the features. But they don't strike out at first.
However, nearly all the half-Japanese, Half-western people I know look predominantly white, and it often isn't at all obvious one of their parents is Japanese unless they tell you. Again, the features are there, but if you saw them on the street back home and weren't looking for them you would often just assume they were white.

I don't know, never thought much about it. You know my friend Moses, from the Dark Room right? I always think he looks Hawaiian. Technically, he is half Japanese and half mutt.
There we go, exception #1. If his other parent is mixed that would throw things off, though...
His mother is a very tall blue eyed blonde, just like me, but she's english, german, scottish stuff. I am the scandinavian blondie. How's that for your mix? All I know is, to me, he is beautiful because he's my baby.
