The Offical Mission Handbook notwithstanding, MGS1 is the game that both references Snake being of Japanese descent, and introduces his being a clone of Big Boss. From this, it could easily be interpreted that Big Boss himself was possibly of Japanese descent. This appeared to be the general consensus among fans until the revelation in MGS4 regarding the ethnicity of the egg donor (which even then, makes up a very small % of DNA in the entire genome, and is a bit of a stretch to claim this gave Snake "Japanese blood").
