<p>Chinese people look noticeably different from Japanese
people, Koreans look very different from Thais, Vietnamese people look
different from Fillipinos, etc., etc.. Granted, I lived over there for
several years, but if you lined up people of the same age and sex from
the various Asian countries, I'd lay money most people here would
easily tell them apart), but hey, sometimes it's fun to be fashionably
ignorant, right?</p><p> True.
But there are parts with alot of similarities, which you could
understand not being noticed by an untrained eye. Chinese and Korean
for example. Very similar. <br />
</p><p>Of course, it doesn't help that Hollywood has
screwed up everyone's perception of the world by usually slapping any
ol' Asian into an "Asian" role, no matter whether or not they're
actually the nationality of the Asian character they're playing. Same
goes for Arabs, Latinos, Hispanics, Italians, Persians and, oddly
enough, Jewish people. Seems if you're not obviously black or white,
you get the casting shaft when it comes to accurate nationalities being
portrayed in most films, and I think that's contributed big time to
people thinking they're confused when it comes to telling different
nationalities apart.</p><p>Well
blame the Feds first and foremost. You're either classified as "Black"
"White" or "Latino" in most cases, w/ a few sub groups. In each case
thats WAY too broad a generalization, with too many sub groups within
each category none of whom agree with each other on anything. That's
why you say "Fuck all these categories, were all Americans. And all
human beings with more that brings us together than divides us.What
usually divides us are assholes from a certain city who run for
re-election every so often. <br />
</p><p>I just find it hilarious that it's usually
white people throwing out the "they all look the same" schtick when I
defy you to actually see a physical difference in someone from, say,
Germany to someone who lives in Ohio. Or Norway to someone in Oregon.
Or a Canadian to someone in Poland.</p><p>Well,
you wouldn't say that if you were a trial lawyer. Cross racial ID's are
NOTORIOUSLY mistaken, with lots of innocent folks paying the price.
