when one opens his/her mouth and speak, you'll be able to tell them apart.

I don't think all Asians look the same, but they do look more similar to each other than other races. I can tell apart many Asian nations (I mean I can see who is Chinese, who is Vietnamese, who is Thai etc.), but individuals within some Asian nations look very similar to me. They're not all the same, but it's not as easy for me to tell them apart as people of other races. I don't have a problem telling Vietnamese individuals apart, but I have a hard time with the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, maybe because I don't see them that often so I haven't had much chance to explore their features.

I know a lot of people that, like you can't distinguish very well.
However, I'm a white guy and I can usually tell different Asian groups apart with no problem. Just pay attention and after a while you'll be able to tell.

I think oriental people are hot! but that's just me.
Asian is a loosely used term meaning brown/ light brown skin and slanted eyes short stature, etc.. Korea, China, Japan, and Vietnamese all have the same physical traits! CUTE! :-)
But, you need to remember that the country of India is in Asia. Do indians look asian? No they don't!! Weird eh!

I used to think that until I visited Asian countries and if you are there long enough they are all very very different just like us. As a matter of fact there were some that reminded me of some of my friends at home and they are not Asian.

i think you are the one that needs to get out more. even though asians in general have traits that can be grouped together, no we dont look alike.
I'm a Singaporen chinese. and when i'm in Taiwan, the moment people look at me and my friends they immediately say we're not from Taiwan. likewise most of the time, i can tell if a person is from China or the Philippines, etc etc.
this is the same as saying all blacks look alike, or all Caucasians look alike, etc etc

Every group of races looks similar, caucasians, blacks, hispanics, asians.... It's hard to tell what anyone's race is exactly. But they are labelled together because of the way they look. You probably wouldn't be able to tell exactly what place in africa a black person originated from.

.Er........OK
Anyways, I don't think so at all.
I really love diversity, hence I live in Canada. I just love how people can be so different not only physically but traditionally too.
People from Asia are no exception. I think Koreans are the very beautiful people, as well as people from Thailand.
But the point is, even though you are a twin, triplet...you still have your own individual features. No one really looks the same.

Nope, all Asians do not look the same. Indians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis may look a bit alike while Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and Singaporeans have similar features!!!!!
