When my daughter was toddler, a waiter in a Chinese restaurant looked at her and then at the doll she was holding and said, "Looks like baby." Guess Caucasians looked alike to him whereas my relatives can tell (or think they can tell) Polish from German, Irish from Welsh, etc.
African-Americans seem to have labels for different skin tones that most white people don't really notice so I guess people are more aware of differences within their own race.
Pretty soon the human population will be well blended and the differences will average out. Unfortunately, we will probably find something else to perseverate over.

Yes. The chinese look similar to the japanese, koreans etc. But somehow, they are able to know the difference. Like when a mainland chinese woman sees a korean woman, she'd know the korean is not a mainland chinese. Just like how the asians are not able to tell when they see a caucasian. Is it an american, australian or european? I have chinese friends who see the indians and hindis and they think it's all indian. They can't tell the difference. I guess different race see things their way.

Yes you look same to japanese and chinese if you have chink eyes and a white and smooth skin.But in line with islamic teaching all humans are the same whatever their races are.The difference in the eyes of God lies on their faith whether strong or weak and also how their dedication to God.

Ha ha, probably, if "we" means Caucasian.
I'm Chinese and I get sick of other non-Asians mistaking me for Japanese or Korean!

They probably think we're all over weight.

Uhhh, I barely understood your question but who knows. I doubt it because in America we are so racially diverse.
