He looks a lot like the protagonist of many a Chinese movie.. Definitely looks Asian.
Also, while I agree that they kind of create their own races and it's impossible to describe 'the' african and 'the' asian to begin with, we have to keep in mind that certain features are just way too characteristic for certain races/areas to ignore:
- If you give a character a fair skin and light hair, it's gonna look European, even if it has a wide nose.
- Dark hair, fair skin and 'squinty' eyes: it will look Asian, no matter what its other features are.
- Half dark skin (light brown) and dark hair: North African, Middle Eastern, Indian... (this is the most varied category, to distinguish between them other features, such as dress, or more subtle differences in skin tone, come into play).
- Dark hair, dark skin: African.
