Why do white people continue to struggle to tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese/Taiwanese?

I have no idea why it's actually pretty easy to distinguish the two.

It depends what a person is accustomed to. When I first arrived in Kenya, I could not see so much difference between tribes. Now, a Maasai and Kikuyu is obviously very different to me. I can even tell the difference between Kikuyu and Kiembu (very similar in language and looks). While you might not be so familiar with other Asians, you are aware of your ancestry's looks and can see other Asians look very different. In Kenya, many people could not see much difference between myself and other whites (at the school I work with), and they'd have no idea what French vs. Italian might look like.

With exposure, people begin to see the details.

It's the same here with all the Natives.

I knew we were politically opposed, but I never knew you were a racist.

How sad.

Your getting to be as bad as your partner what's her name... You know, just posting for the sole purpose of attacking someone and not commenting on the topic.

You got the language wrong (and thus the nation as well), the language in the video is not Japanese.

I realize that, but that doesn't change the fact that SB launched a racist attack to point this out... Nor does it change the fact that the only reason he posted to this thread was to insult, not to comment on the video.

Let me guess... Your defending him... I'm shocked I tell ya

Rule #18 comes to mind.

Well, yeah, there's half the issue.

The other half is people assuming **** is one thing or another without actually verifying it.

I mean, you'd think people would recognize their lack of experience on something before talking about it and look it up just to make sure, but no.
Just another "this is why you are an idiot" moment.
