The article specifically says 'do not add half Japanese, half Australian as ethnicity does not belong in the header'. But from what I'm aware of, Miller is Japanese and Australian in nationality (to be strict, Australian isn't an ethnicity anyway). If one of his parents is Australian and the other is Japanese, then surely it would make him a national of both countries. On [[Saoirse Ronan]]'s page she is described as 'Irish and American' due to holding both nationalities, despite both of her parents being Irish and her identifying exclusively as Irish. As Miller is a national of both Australia and Japan, surely that is relevant information to add in the introduction section?

"Half Australian".. Anyone have more specifics?

I'm a nerd for ethnology, so forgive me if this doesn't seem relevant, but Australian is a nationality, not an ethnic category. I'm assuming that Australian in his case means white Australian, probably Anglo-Celtic, just going off the demographics of the country. But there are also obviously Aboriginal Australians to factor in, and the country is becoming increasingly diverse, with people from Asia, the Mediterranean, etc. So I'm curious if anyone can confirm the specifics of his ancestry on that side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B044:4F75:F54C:3DCD:3F95:484B (talk) 08:48, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • He did post a (supposed) pic of his parents on the Filthy Frank twitter once but that was long ago and even then I'm not entirely sure I remember. Considering that (a.) the FF twitter has been completely wiped and (b.) I doubt he'd be willing to talk more about his personal life it'd be fine to just say "Half-Australian" and call it a day there. JakeyPotter (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just come on here to ask this as I saw him on the Australian Artist chart on Aria and was not expecting to see him there as the page here indicates he is Japanese I guess if he is currently living in Australia and has an Australian citizenship he could be half and half.

He self ID’s as Japanese-Australian, so why the lead reads just “Japanese” as of right now is a real mystery. Funny how Japan is willing to claim “hafu” when they are famous...sigh.2A00:23C4:3E0F:4400:ED8D:C76F:7780:677 (talk) 13:10, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese or Japanese-Australian?

The article specifically says 'do not add half Japanese, half Australian as ethnicity does not belong in the header'. But from what I'm aware of, Miller is Japanese and Australian in nationality (to be strict, Australian isn't an ethnicity anyway). If one of his parents is Australian and the other is Japanese, then surely it would make him a national of both countries. On Saoirse Ronan's page she is described as 'Irish and American' due to holding both nationalities, despite both of her parents being Irish and her identifying exclusively as Irish. As Miller is a national of both Australia and Japan, surely that is relevant information to add in the introduction section? Averkf (talk) 21:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
