<p>Wellesley has like 20-28% asians, i think.</p>
<p>Some Asian girls are damn hot. Like my girlfriend. awesome!</p>
<p>Agreed^^^(some)</p>
<p>the university of chinky chong chang bang has about 97% asians.....</p>
<p>lol. Depends. Asian girls tend to be cute or pretty freakin ugly. There is no real middle ground with asian girls.</p>
<p>Question for all people who have grown in up Asian minority countries. When you first encounter a large mass of Asians, do they all look alike to you?</p>
<p>i agree with flong on this.</p>
<p>Melli to a person ignorant of different asian races, then yeah everyone will probably look the same. But each respective race generally has a ability to discern which race another asian is, i.e. since im Korean, i can immediately figure out whose korean in a group of asians.</p>
<p>I have to disagree with flong.</p>
<p>Each nationality has its own criteria for distinguishing themselves. Most of the time, this criteria is the same for all groups - we look better. You can see how successful this is in practice.</p>
<p>I'm Chinese, but I've been told that I look Indonesian, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, and even Afghan and Indian by other Chinese. One person (not Chinese) has mistaken me for a South American. Apparently, my dark skin, large eyes, and rectangular face do not fit the "typical Chinese male" look (*).</p>
<p>The best way to tell what nationality an Asian belongs to is to ask him what his last name is. It works 99% of the time, with the remaining 1% consisting of cognates. For example, there are both Chinese and Korean Yangs. However, for every Korean Yang, there exists well over a 100 Chinese Yangs.</p>
<p>If you know one of the Asian languages, then you have a much better chance of distinguishing by name. When I see Li, I know this person is Chinese and from the Mainland. Sato is Japanese. Kim is Korean. Nguyen is Vietnamese.</p>
<p>(*)</p>
<p>The "typical Chinese male" has fairly light skin, small eyes with a single eyelid, and a circular face. In reality, I have met only one person who fits this description, but everyone has him as the mental image...</p>
<p>I have to disagree with flong.</p>
<p>I'm full blooded Chinese. I was even born in China.</p>
<p>I've been told that I look Korean by numerous Koreans and other Chinese. Most of the time people are very surprised that my last name is Wang rather than Kim.</p>
<p>As far as melli's question goes, it mostly has to do with the in-group-out-group bias.</p>
<p>I am Asian. I've been around enough Asians and seen a sufficient number of Asian films, so not all look alike. I was raised in predominantly White regions, so I can also distinguish Whites from one another.</p>
<p>Just one of the perks of being a second-generation minority.</p>
<p>I agree with the recent posts on this page. I tried to learn to tell the difference between Asians, and while I can take a stab at it with varying degrees of accuracy, the best way to find out is to listen to them speak. Their accent or language usually betray them and give major hints. Because theres only a handful of common (usually CCJK/Vietmanize, Tagalog...etc) Asian languages, therefore unlikely you'll hear Samoan or a Hmong dialect and wonder if they're Filipino or Vietmanize. </p>
<p>Besides that and their last name, you can always just politely ask. (I say 'politely,' because I don't like it when strangers walk up and shortly ask, "What are you?" Or, "Where are you from?" Older folks are more direct and rude with this.) Assuming they're not trying to make some point by telling a lie or just not telling, you'll know the answer.</p>
<p>I disagree with flong. For some reason, when I went to Japan (Im Japanese) some ppl mistook me for being half white-half Japanese. Probably cuz Im damn good looking ;)</p>
<p>I don't see what the big deal is with not being able to tell East Asians apart in terms of their national origin. Precious few people can just take a look at an African and know which country he's from, or look at a European and do the same.</p>
