Wow, 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.

Dunno what it shows, but I got 10 out of 18.

I find it ...

Really, really amusing that you're an outlier on this one, RJ.

Dunno why.

I got 10 out of 18, too, but I'm an outlier in many places, not a nice, average, middle-of-the-road typical American like RJ. . . .
