Do you guys think Vietnamese people look like Chinese people?

Question

I've been researching alot on my culture lately, and I always though Vietnamese people looked like Thai's, Cambodians, Laos, and other people in Southeast asia, except alot of there culture was from China, but alot of Chinese people are saying that Vietnamese are like chinese people, they look like them, and they even said Chinese people consider Vietnamese people chinese. They say that both have fair skin and somthing about there eyes, but I am pretty dark, and my eyes are pretty round, many times i ve been called a mix, with mexican. What do you guys think? No unneeded stuff either

Answer 1

I'm Vietnamese!!!!!!!!!!

Vietnamese do not at all look like the Chinese. The eyes and face look different

Cambodians don't even look asian and to me they look partially Mexican and Filipino.

Answer 2

This may sound strange to some American. But I was born in Vietnam. However, my blood is completely Chinese. My parents only speak Chinese at home. However some of my relatives are pure Vietnamese. So yes I do speak Vietnamese with my relatives. So what am I? I considered myself culturally and traditionally Chinese, but I also considered myself culturally and traditionally related to Vietnamese. Plus since I grew up here in the United States, I also considered myself an American. The only thing that matter to me is my culture and my tradition. I don't care what race, color or gender I am.

Answer 3

the eyelids of Vietnamese and Chinese are different. Most Chinese have long, small eyes. Vietnamese's eyes are pretty round.

Answer 4

I think people are just stereotyping. Alot of Chinese people have Vietnamese hertiage vice versa...It's hard to tell what nationality that person is by looking at them. For instance I am Chinese no one every said I look chinese. Just b/c I have big eyes.

Answer 5

when you consider that chinese language and vietnamese are both asian ethnic communities, he might want to probable look asian. darkish hair, darkish eyes, probable light or medium tan pores and skin. properly that's how my 1/2 chinese language 1/2 malaysian chum sounds like!

Answer 6

No, I never think so. They are different. Chinese have smaller eyes and single eyelids. They also have rounder, flatter, and fatter faces. Vietnamese generally have larger eyes and I can always tell who are Vietnamese and who are Chinese by their appearance. Only ignorant Chinese would consider Vietnamese as Chinese.
