Just in general are Mongolians (Not other Asians, just only Mongols) fully Asian or a mixed race? Many Mongols have traits that would otherwise exist in Caucasians such as large bones, being chubbier and more muscular.

Darwin notes in half-breeds a return toward the
habits of savage life. He says : " Many years ago,
before I thought of the present subject, I was struck
with the fact that in South America men of complicated
descent between negroes, Indians, and Spaniards rarely
had, whatever the cause might be, a good expression.' '
Livingstone, after speaking of a half-caste man on
the Zambesi, described as a rare monster of inhumanity,
remarks : " It is unaccountable why half-castes such
as he are so much more cruel than the Portuguese;
but such is undoubtedly the case." Humboldt speaks
in strong terms of the bad character of the Zambos,
or half-castes between Indians and negroes, and this
conclusion has been arrived at by various observers.
An inhabitant of Africa remarked to Livingstone, that
God made the white man, God made the black man,
but the devil made the half-castes.
Klapproth states that the intermarriage of Caucasians
and Mongoloid produces half-breeds in whom the
Mongoloid type is always predominant, whatever may
be the sex of the half-breed. Burmeister, who studied
the mulattoes of South America and of the West Indian
Islands, denies that the mulatto is exactly the mean
between his two parents. In the immense majority of
cases his characteristics are borrowed from both races,
but one of them is always predominant, and that is nearly always the negro race. Prunser-Bey passes the
same judgment as far as the mulattoes of Egypt are
concerned. He observes the marked predominance of
the negro type. It is manifest in the form and dimensions
of the skull, in the forehead, usually low and receding,
in the curly woolly hair and in the prognathism (Ribot).
When the conquest of Alexander spread a crust of
Greek culture over the East it had the more important
result of destroying the Greek race. With the corruption
of the Hellenic blood, the Hellenic genius declined,
and little is produced, after the time of Alexander,
worthy of the Hellenic name. The sculptors no longer
created ideal types of gods and men, but made portraits.
For a time portraiture inclined to idealism. The idealism
soon evaporated and the sculptors were no longer artists
but artisans. They were content to copy the types of
the old masters.

Its a diet thing. Mongolians eat disproportionally more milk and meat than the average asian.
