jinianWow, I completely suck at this. http://www.alllooksame.com/ tests your ability to distinguish Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people on sight. Average is 7 right; I got four. Ouch. Hey, I can tell their writing apart. I read more than I talk, so surely that's the important part...
Should I be ashamed, though, is what I'm wondering. I don't actually care, so is it important that I be able to tell? I don't think all Asian people look the same. I can distinguish individuals perfectly well. I just don't know what the racial commonalities are. Interesting to learn that I'm bad at it, I suppose.

I only got 3. But I'm not surprised. I go to a school with fairly large asian population, but I've never known enough of them to form any coherent sense of what variety of asian. Apparently, I'm just plain confused.
