The first pictures of Suri appeared in Vanity Fair magazine today, and on the CBS Evening News last night, and our initial analysis of the long-awaited pictures has led us, and more than a few casual and professional observers, to the same conclusion -- that somewhere in the gene pool of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, some Asian influence has crept in. (As Jossip cheekily posits, "In six years, Vanity Fair will have the story about why Suri has Lucy Liu's eyes." And Gawker posted an Asiatic-looking parody shot of the baby that subsequently spread around the Internet and prompted a disclaimer.)
The delicate, almond-shaped eyes, the milky, pale-ish skin tone, the striking mane of dark, dark hair -- these are the characteristics that have pointed us down this line of inquiry. (It should be noted that, yes, babies tend to look fairly like one another at this early stage, but still.) As far as we can determine, there isn't any Asian blood in either Tom or Katie's family, but that doesn't mean some Far Eastern seed hasn't seeped in somewhere along the way.
Of course, if her parents were really Asian at all, they'd probably have taken into consideration that Suri means "pickpocket" in Japanese and something very close to "renovation" in Korean. That wouldn't be such an auspicious beginning.

If you're going to swipe pictures from other websites, at least have the decency to site your source. Thieves!
Poor Baby and Poor Parents! Suri obviously has her mother's "bedroom" eyes - and both Tom and Katie have dark hair. Seriously, TMZ, sometimes you guys are truly funny - but this is just mean with no humor. The baby is defenseless - leave her alone!
She is not ASIAN PEOPLE c'mon, Her skin is WHITE and she has Katie's eyes that slant. I mean everyone bitched and complained to see a picture of the child after all this long and when it happens they talk negative! She's beautiful and WHITE!
The baby is ADORABLE. Whether you question her lovely "Asian" features, that's not the point and it does not matter, does it. She is beautiful and healthy. Why question it and why create an unnecessary controversy?
She actually looks very Irish. Her skin is pale not yellow or olive- her eyes are blue, not brown, the corners of her eyes are pointed down not up, yes they are almond shaped, but are wide, and not thin. I think she's gorgeous.
I agree with #4. What a horrible thing to say! I think shes adorable!!!! And really who rips on a baby??
OMG! How stupid can you be. She clearly has Katie's eyes. Listen I cannot stand TC but Katie and the baby are innocent of his lunacy. The baby is beautiful and I wish them well. Katie keep your man reigned in.
COME ON TMZ! WHO IS WRITING THIS SH*T?! IT IS HER BABY AND NOT A ASIAN BABY. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO REPORT SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE AND NOT JUST POST A STORY TO START SH*T!!!
Cute baby---Why is it wearing a wig????? Look real close at the forehead.
