All look the same?

undoubtedly asians from many countries share common ancestral and anthropological ties. this fact is a little hard for some asians to come to terms with mostly because of the disparities in their current political and social situations. there is an ongoing debate about how physically similar asian people really are. some individuals will vehemently assert they can discern between Koreans, Chinese and Japanese on sight. i’ve always found it incredibly difficult and have relied on eavesdropping to hear what language people are speaking in order to decide. i’ve talked a few of my Japanese friends into testing their skills and was delighted when they realized that they had grossly overestimated their ability to categorize their genetic cousins by sight alone. a friend recently emailed me about this website which is a hoot. click on the link below, then click on ‘take the test’ on the top left side. you should all post your scores in the comments section here so we can see how truly ignorant we all are! even with all my recent practice, i only scored a whopping 4!
