I think Big Boss himself was supposed to be half Japanese as well.
(SPOILER)Dr. Clarke's Japanese assistant provided the egg, and you're right, eva was the serrogate mother, who is chinese herself.

Big Boss was noted in some strategy guide I think to be 3rd generation Japanese-American, but I believe that was completely forgotten later on, he definately looks American in MGS3 (SPOILER)and 4, I think he's supposed to represent any American in that game, also hence "John Doe" (SPOILER)JD in MGS4
