Is Brett Lee Chinese?

He doesn't look chinese. But does he have some chinese ancestory that would explain his last name?

Think I'm going to leave this open just for the sheer hilarity of it.

Lee's a Korean name as opposed to Chinese though, ftr. The Chinese have the surname Li, but it's nowhere near as common as the Korean Lee.

He's descended from the famous Chinese general, Robert E. Lee actually...

Not sure why I reply in a serious way, but I'll quote wikipedia:

Lee was the 35th most common surname in England and Wales in the 1990s.

Clearly he's not Chinese - the Chinese were the boxers, whereas Brett Lee is definitely a greyhound.

More threads should have humungus pictures of Robert E. Lee in them.
Hack, tbh. Average inflated by the early victories against the inexperience Union side on some flat decks. FS Jackson's Uncle Stonewall the premier Confederate skipper, IMHO.
