Chinese vs Korean vs Japanese

I can usually tell Korean faces apart, like this guy, but not so much Chinese/Japanese. Japanese people usually tend to have wavier hair than Chinese people, but other than that I usually have no idea.

I'm pretty good at this... though they have intentionally selected faces like look quite ambiguous. I got the men right, but the women wrong.

Chinese have quite flat, round faces, whilst Korean and Japanese are more narrow and pointy... and like you said, the hair thing.

Japanese have the most defined features, Koreans look like spoon-faced cartoons, and the Chinese are in the middle.

[Spammer]

I literally got all of them wrong.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Got them all right. Koreans I can spot a mile off, they have square heads. Japanese have kamikaze pilot eyes (not sure I can define this in words but I can spot it every time) and the Chinese are the ones left over, I can't really spot them on their own but can do next to these two.

None of this is as defining as The Mouth, though.

[Vim]

I only got the Korean woman right, the other wrong.

Get a group of each to stand and have a chat. If one of the groups is stood in everyone's way who wants to get past, that's the Chinese lot.

Growing up in Brisbane makes this piss easy. Japanese Tan the darkest.

[Offshore Toon]

Japanese people I've met are normally slightly more pale than Chinese. I've never met a Korean.

[Shindig]

All the Chinese I see around town are bookworthy, bland and sexless.

You've never met a Korean? Have you ever left Jersey?

Yup. I live about two blocks away from Chinatown in Sydney now as well. Lots of great local dumpling places.

Although it's never a 100% certainty. I have a Chinese friend who I would have sworn was Japanese if I didn't know better.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Got the men wrong but I got the women correct.

That's all that matters.

There are about twelve Koreans in Britain.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And Jimmy knows all of them.

Herra no.

There are actually a shitload in New Malden. Like, thousands. And a fair few more dotted around the south east where their companies set up shop. If you go to a golf course around here there are always a few groups of them pottering around playing very slowly having spent about six times more on equipment than they needed to.

[John Arne]

I disagree. Head out of Chinese cities and they're all as dark as AE.

[mugbull]

Herra no.

U ok there bud

Chinatown in Sydney must be enormous?

My Uber driver the other day was from Korea but lived near the North. Looked dead on like a North Korean flat Top and all.

We get the rich bastards though no farmer from China is making their way here.

[ItalAussie]

Chinatown in Sydney must be enormous? There's a "center" which has most of the big names, but most of the Sydney CBD has a very high Asian population. Good food and decent outlet chains. :D


My Uber driver the other day was from Korea but lived near the North. Looked dead on like a North Korean flat Top and all.I found it really weird when I watched the North Korean football team during the Asian Cup. Like, these were actual real North Koreans from actual North Korea. It was a slightly odd thought.

[Queenslander]

Dead inside?

The Asian community starts at Mt Gravatt now meaning it basically starts on the Southern side of Toohey Forest. It's amazing for places that serve authentic cuisine. Market Square is going to be 3 stories soon and they want to build high density around it and prices being throw around are mental. My old suburb Eight Mile Plains is ridiculously over priced for house and land .now.
