Nathan Adrian And Some Thoughts On Looks And Race And Speed

Commentary by Casey Barrett

Why are men and women of mixed race always so dang attractive? Must be all that cross pollination that produces the most beautiful specimens.  Whatever it is, Nathan Adrian is now the official poster boy of halfsie nation. His agents at Octagon announced that he’s signed a deal with Tommy Hilfiger as their newest “menswear ambassador.”

Out west the common term is ‘hapa’, a Hawaiian term meaning mixed ethnic heritage. It generally refers to those half Asian / half Caucasian kids that always seem to look like they’ve won the genetic lottery. I prefer the more literal ‘halfsie’ over ‘hapa’, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be that particular Asian-white combo. Any combination will do. Because the more you mix the races, the better the results seem to be. And not just in the looks department.

Adrian is a case in point: His mom is Chinese; his dad, Irish-German. Together they produced a 6 ft 6 beast who’s the defending Olympic champion in the 100 free; the longtime anchor of American relays; and the crush of countless ladies, young and old.
