If you disagree with me then name some physical traits that you think is distinctive to Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese.
i have spent my entire life living among asia people. sure, there are those people who you look at and you have to ask yourself, what the hell is their ethnicity because you are either so mixed or just plain ugly that i can't tell the difference as to your background. however, you don't have to believe me, but when you meet a korean person versus a chinese person, i know the difference. viets and loations are a bit harder to tell apart, but when it comes to the main three..krn chn and jpn, it's all too easy.

I live in a very multicultural environment. I think its just wrong when someone is going to judge a person based on their ethnic background. Every girl from every background is beautiful in their own way. I am friends with girls and guys from very diverse backgrounds and i think its wrong to say "oh, he/she is from this culture and that so I prefer him/her. Or, I don't like him/her because he/she is from this ethnic background".
haha you are reading too inbetween the lines. so what if i choose to like my background over another? is that wrong?? i have dated a diverse group of asian ethnicities, and i like many people like to bond with a female that i have similar interests in, and that's mainly culture. i am not racist or anything, however the woman that i want to marry probably will be japanese. if she's not then i'll deal with it, but until that day comes, this is my wish.
oh for the record, yes i can be shallow when it comes to a girl..

yes yes..that's exactly what i'm saying. i can't tell the difference between a canadian or a german for that matter. shit, i'd believe that you were a mute australian if you told me so.

ok so here you go. can you tell me the differences in traits among white people?? yes they are tall in general, but so in yao ming... what i'm saying is that every ethnicity will resemble another in one way or another. but just to save some argumentative purposes....
koreans tend to peak face, some have biggest facial features because they loves to smell the garlic...haha..honestly though, the biggest face features are true.
chinese people usually will have larger eyes than a japanese person and most a darker, but it will vary.
i think that overall japanese people are the smallest in general, but with all the hormones in milk these days, you can't really tell.
honestly, to sum up any ethnicity is a rough guess because everyone is so diverse in their way physical features.

this is only an assumption...it's like saying because mexico is next to texas, all the cowboys would look like mexicans and vice versa. i live in hawaii and i look the least bit hawaiian.

you weren't saying that last night and you tried to swallow my vienna sausage. too bad that i had to pop like a 2-liter bottle and knock a couple of teeth loose. it's ok, i have a good dental plan that you can get a good repair on those dentures..for a price of course..
