(first, I hope people know I was joking about that)

well I never say all asians look alike, I seriously don't think that's true.  Like really, I don't.  I also could probably sometimes tell the difference between europeans, but that's not all the time.  In general I don't understand the sentiment that all people of anything would look alike at all.

yes, definitely. we're just discussing

really? you can tell the difference between different european groups?

my reasoning for saying so is because i think the "average"  white person wouldn't be able to tell if someone was chinese, japanese, korean, etc....just like the "average" asian person wouldn't be able to tell the difference between french, german, norweigian......(i think i can pick out italian, but that's about it!)

I can't say I'd be 100% but I've spent a good deal of time in France and Germany and there are some differences IMO.  I think Italy and England are also kind of easy to spot.  But I mean, yeah, white people can also look 'alike'.  I think a lot though has to do with attitude/how they carry themselves/style etc.  Those things can be a giveaway for different parts of the US or different countries.
