After spending more time with any one race, do you still think they look alike?

Question

I think I figured out why this is, I'm Japanese and when I first saw Lord of the Rings I kept telling myself "wait didn't that white guy with the beard just die in the last scene"...but then when I came to the States and spent more time around whites, I realized that they look really different. The point is I think that the more time you spend submerged in a certain culture, the more you will notice the differences of the individual. Has anyone not found this true? Although there maybe certain groups of people that look alike due to intribe marriages. Also I think the reason why whites may seem very different is because Europe has so many small countries and the people in the mixed around areas but the original people of that area would look similar. And in America..well its comprised of all different sorts of Europeans. If you traveled to the north and south of China or Japan, it would be the same it's just because the area is so vast people tend to stay around the same places.

Answer 1

same for me - white guy who said "all _____ look the same to me" when I was an immature junior higher and now I am down with everyone

Answer 2

when it comes to telling the differences between nationalities i still find it difficult - i.e. whether someone is chinese, japanese or korean but as far as people go, i dont think they all look the same. that is, i can tell one from another quite easily

Answer 3

Of course it is true. That is true about anything in life. The more familiar, the more you notice the differences.

Answer 4

the only race that i think looks very similar would be asians...but i can still see a difference between everyone...

Answer 5

Chinese and japanese look alike!
