First, don't listen to all these people complaining about racism; if they say it is, they obviously do not know what real racism is. This is, actually, a good question. The thing is, in some circumstances, they can look the same. However, in some cases, they differ by a significant amount.

Southeastern Asians such as Cambodians, have very dark skin. They almost look like Native Americans. As well as most Thais. Also, when it comes to the lighter shade of skin, it can be a little confusing.

Northern Chinese and southern Chinese are said to vary in subtle ways. I believe northern Chinese people are rather bigger, and generally have an epicanthal fold, as where the southern Chinese do not. Pale Korean skin is some of the most beautiful skin on this earth -- as well as my people's.

However, I will say that my friend and I went into a Chinese restaurant and placed an order. An Asian man walked in and was picking his order up. The Chinese man behind the counter started speaking to him in Chinese, just to have the guy say, "I'm sorry; I'm Japanese."

My friend looks over to the man behind the counter and says, "Hah! I knew it! You can't tell the difference, either!" Everyone laughed.

Answer 2

Studies have shown that people in the same race have a much easier time telling each other apart than those of other races because they are much more familiar with the characteristics of that particular race.

For example, as a Caucasian person, I notice small details on other Caucasian people that most other races (Asian, Latino, African American, Indian, etc) would not as quickly notice. This is same among other races.

As someone of a different nationality, looking at an Asian person in comparison to another Asian person (or any two people of the same race, yet different than your own), you are more quickly going to notice the similarities between the two instead of the differences. This makes you assume that all people of that particular race look the same, when really you are just familiarizing yourself with the more common dominant features.

Answer 3

black people are the only race who want to stand out and be noticed. Most other races dress alike or have certain groups and want to blend in. I went to a basketball game in a white high school when i was younger, all the cheerleaders looked just a like, hell they do now. In an all black school i could notice the difference
