well, she may not be wrong, a lot of Japanese are mixed race with their indigenous people, like the "Ainu".

@@lucas9269 Not really, the majority of Japanese only inherited 9% (or even less) Jomon admixture, which is invalid as 'mixed race'.

Bruh...according to the ancient record, Japanese and Korean actually have the Chinese genes in them because of Chinese emigrants who emigrated to neighboring countries like Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar...to escape the war in Mainland China whenever whole China fell into civil war and chaos. So modern Korean and modern Japanese basically are a mixed race of native Korean and native Japanese ethnics with the Ancient Chinese.

@@The_Art_of_AI_888 But koreans, japanese, and chinese are very different now. Like democracy and communism

@@jmkim2937 What do democracy and communism have to do with genes and races? You've been consumed too much political propaganda on the Internet or something? LMAO

I think they complained mainly about ppl assumes they are korean/japanese without asking. I'm pretty sure no one would be upset if ppl ask politely where do they come from.

@@alicia_7995 Agreed.

I can only tell Ethiopians apart from the rest of the Africans. The rest looks the same for me😂😂😂 then we also have our Arab africans who I also cant tell apart. I just know they are from north Africa

People in Europe are afraid of ask "where are you from" if you are black, you don't know who is listening today and who can mark you as racist. I think some nations have really some typical elements, for example there is something like "russian face," they are sligtly mixed with north east asians and with some inuitic and scandinavian nations so they can look exotic even when they are still white. Rest of Europe is totaly mixed so even European can't see where is other European from by the face.

@@alicia_7995 When I went to China people would ask me if I'm Russian, but I'm American. I didn't get upset about it. It's a stupid thing to be upset about.

It's easy to tell the difference! Chinese people's facial contours are more obvious. Koreans have small eyes. Japanese girl hair is bangs

@@phantris2459 idk if you meant to reply to my comment but if you did what does it have to do with what you said..

Forget it with South Korea and Japan, a large mental hospital, a rich nuclear waste water

@@user-zv9jz7rl7v What is going on with Japan and SK? I know Japan and China are having issues again with their territory of islands. China is funding Russia too. Not good.

@@wombat5252 Japan and south Korea are almost western countries now days. They do not represent pure asian culture as well as China,.Nort Korea and Viertnam

@@wombat5252 The reasons for the three countries’ animosity are very long and varied but here are some key ones: Between Japan and SK: largely historical and some modern reasons. Japan brutally colonized the Korean Peninsula in the past and to this day whitewashes their crimes, such as sexual enslavement of Korean women. Japan and SK also fight over who owns Dokdo / Takeshima. They also have trade disputes that have culminated multiple times in boycotts of the other’s products. Between Japan and China: similar in regards to historical reasons - Japan denies war crimes like Unit 731, sex slavery, and the rape of Nanking and their politicians visit shrines dedicated to Japanese war criminals. They also dispute over a set of islands - Senkaku / Diaoyu / Tiaoyutai (Taiwan / the ROC also claims them but they’re so small and relatively weak compared to the PRC / Japan that neither side really pays them much attention). Japan is also allied with America, so they view China as authoritarian, evil, etc. Between China and SK: Historically, China defended North Korea and fought against South Korea. THAAD has marked a major turning point in modern day China-SK relations. A lot of Chinese boycotted Korean goods and the government banned Hallyu (Korean entertainment) for some time. Other issues include cultural disputes (ex. Hanbok / hanfu / kimchi / paocai), pollution (China is a huge country and thus unfortunately pollutes a lot, some of which has spread to SK), and similarly to Japan, Korea being an ally of the USA.

​@@gaviriak But South Korea and Japan are homogeneous

Yeah true but that would also make it too based on stylistic/trend differences instead of facial features/genetic differences.

@@kmlau1986 also I think they may have picked people based on ancestry only like some Chinese Americans or something mixed in which would confuse these girls cuz we would not be following any Asian trends

I feel most Chinese pics were from Chinese Americans who are from southern China like Guandong province. Chinese faces vary a lot compared to Koreans and Japanese due to the size and proximity of China to other regions of the world.

In fact, most Korean stars are of Han nationality, and Han Tibetans are plateau people, so they have a high eyebrow bone, high nose bridge and thin lips! The ancestors of the other two Korean lineages are Tunguska in North Asia and Southeast Asia! It is characterized by thick lips and small eyes.😅

The Japanese with a relatively high nose bridge are basically descendants of mainland immigrants, with Han-Tibetan ancestry ~

Mid girl was obviously Korean, she has typical Korean features and make-up. The left and the right girl's nationalities are more difficult to tell, I feel that both could pass as Chinese or Japanese.

@@weifan9533 I can tell the ethnicities by looking at the features of the middle and right girl . Left felt most ambiguous to me. But process of elimination 😃🙌🏻

I can tell the 3 ladies are from the Northern part of East Asia....hahaha!

there's no such thing as a "south Asian"

@@WastedBananas isnt the name of the area containing India, Pakistan, Bangladeshm Nepal and Sri Lanka south Asia? I know there is the term Desi or Desa, i am not sure how to use those words that's why i said south asian, what you do you suggest i should use to refer to the people originated from those area?

@@superpowerdragon yeah Desi works

Tbh that's cause both korea and Japan have Chinese roots

​@@superpowerdragonwe are Indian subcontinent Pak ,bangaldesh are son of India they are not real country

Which dramas are your favorites from each country? :)

Honestly you're way more likely to get an accurate answer judging from their outfit trends, hairstyle trends and makeup than the features itself.

It's easy to tell the difference! Koreans have generally small eyes. That's why Koreans like plastic surgery

@@phantris2459 There are some larger differences of course, but sometimes it can be really hard to tell, even for Asians.

It’s pretty easy to tell Asians apart in a broader sense but when it comes to East Asians it can be especially hard since most Koreans are recently mixed with Chinese and Japanese.

I mean it's not like you can tell where Europeans are from based on their looks.

@@toade1583 good point. I say the same

Koreans and Japanese are of Southeast Asian and North Asian ancestry, while there are few hybrids in eastern and central China, but a large number of hybrids in northern and southern China ~

Japanese round face gentle double cute face korean thin face Crisp eyes beautiful face

True. Chinese people near to north korea looks like Korean

I was told Koreans were descendants from Manchurians of NE China, and for the Japanese, there's historical documentation about Chinese emperor sending people there to find fruit of immortality, during which they couldn't find it so they settled there.

they share common ancestors long long time ago.

Chinese are arguably more diverse (due to historical circumstances), but they do have typical features. Xi Jinping and Carrie Lam are such examples, I don't think they can pass for any other ethnic group other than Chinese.

Cause China is way bigger and populated

I'm European and I can tell most of the time. It is very easy for me to distinguish white people.

I find Japanese also really diverse. If you look at Japanese singer Hirai Ken and actor Hiroshi Abe, they could totally pass as East European/Mid Eastern people.

Agreed

telling southeast asians and east asians apart is generally really easy in my opinion. even if east asians have dark skin in some cases and the opposite, the facial structure is really different.

Mongolians are so different than japanese. Maybe they look Chinese or Korean but never Japanese

@@gaviriak mongolians look like Koreans. Chinese look slightly different they resemble southeast Asian more than Mongolian. Maybe the northern Chinese can look close to Koreans and mongolians.

Telling SE Asian and East Asian apart is easy. But many SE Asians are ethnic Chinese. That is why it is confusing. If you don't count those who are Chinese immigrants to SE Asia, then it would be easy.

Aww ur soo cute

Chinese tend to have bigger eyes than Korean. Korean are more closely related to mongolians and Manchu people.

anglo saxsons are all the same people ...well same great grandparents

Australian and British looks alike but americans do not. Nowdays there are almost not white poeple in USA they are mixed with Latins, africans and some asians

Because you don’t guess. You ask. You never know people’s experiences so its not fair to judge their reactions

Same😂

Me too 😂

Same. And I'm from Spain and I have never been to Asia.

Me too xD but because i lived in China so many years

@@gaviriak Honestly a couple of my closest friends are Chinese so it made it easier. If I didn't know them I'd probably fail horribly

As a westernised Asian, I distinguished them better than the girls in the video. 😭

I can actually tell apart a Somali from Ethiopian but I can’t tell apart an Ethiopian from an Eritrean

Many people = Caucasian? They can't differentiate Asians

It's getting harder to distinguish with hairstyle and makeups and etc, now that k-drama and kpop has made k-beauty and fashion styles popular and everyone styles themselves after Koreans. And many Chinese plastic surgeons trained from Korean surgeons and many Chinese still fly to Korea to fix their faces. I was talking to a friend a few years ago when I visited Korea, and he was saying that it's becoming more and more difficult to tell who are the visitors and who's local. Especially now when I look at Asian celebrities, all style themselves like Koreans

The second they start talking you can tell much easier. Big difference listening to a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean speak English.

Mandarin Chinese imo is most dynamic sounding compared to Korean and Japanese, while Japanese is the least dynamic sounding

@@95ellington x.x it actually blurs the lines too. if a chinese person spoke fluent korean, there's no way anyone is gonna break that disguise unless he admits it himself

it’s not ignorant if you can’t tell someone’s ethnicity right at first glance but what makes Americans ignorant is when they blatantly just assume every Asian is Chinese.

@@huayun260 yeah agreed. Just don’t assume at all

@@huayun260 Tell me you've never met an American without telling me you've never met an American.

@@mattbrown292 I am an American.

@@huayun260 Fair enough. I'm going to guess you're young enough that you're still going through your cynic phase then. I've never met an American that assumes every Asian is Chinese but its a nice platitude to gain social points. I'm pacific islander so I would have experienced this.

uP

NoiCe

I actually think Europeans would be harder to distinguish because they used to mix a LoT. I am like 100% German and a lot of people think I am part Spanish or Italian

I am Latin American but I can’t tell Italians Spaniards and Portuguese apart…. They all have the same Mediterranean look and they are also very hairy hahaha

@@ClaireEmilia True! That's my point in a way, because this video shows that Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese can't be reliably distinguished either. Although there are some general sterotypes and guidelines.

What kind of "Arab" are you, a real DNA Arab? or a Arab speaker because the Arabs invaded your land?

Bruh, I'd be like asking an American to distinguish between other white people from other countries based solely on appearance. Can you tell apart an American from a Brit, or even an Australian without hearing them speak? Africans have the same issue. Telling apart a race is easy, each race has distinct features, but differentiating between nationalities and ethnicities is much more difficult, and even members of the same race struggle with it.

@@HalHamza Tell that to the girls, they were very sure about the differences!

@@bastet9994 lol they learned didn't they?

@@HalHamza True.

I mean, it's only Japan, Korea and East China. You can't confuse between an Indian and a Japanese, or an Indonesian and a Russian, right?

i just watch less than 11 kdrama and less than 5 cdrama and can differentiate between them

@@dc_gahyeonpretty5760 yeah I have watched 10 c dramas and 2 k dramas ,I just got used to their features , but like I said differentiating between Korean and Japanese is kinda hard and I don't watch Japanese dramas so I don't really know their difference

@@confidencerechel5546 Japanese people have more prominent face features like for example, high cheeks while Koreans more often face's surface like an egg.

靠打扮可以分

But Chinese are supposed to be more similar to Koreans than to Japanese because they're genetically closer to Koreans than to Japanese.

@@user-ry5xq3ev8l no from this video it's clear that Japanese and Chinese are harder to differentiate than Korean.

@@Nick-dr4ec Small examples in the video don't mean anything. I'm talking about science here. Chinese are genetically closer to Koreans than to Japanese on average. It's a fact.

@@user-ry5xq3ev8l As you said, I think China and Korea are much closer in face and genes. Especially Northern Chinese, Korean and Mongolian are very similar. They are similar in physique and so on. On the other hand, I thought Japanese might be similar to southern Chinese. I was looking at it from the Japanese point of view, which face the Japanese are closer to. From the Chinese point of view, the Chinese may think that the Chinese are probably more similar to the Koreans. A Korean once told me that Koreans have the most similar faces to Japanese and are hard to distinguish. She said that it is more difficult to tell them apart than the Chinese. But in my opinion, Koreans are easier to distinguish. In particular, I could identify the woman in #12 as Korean in an instant. China is big, so I think there are many different types of faces.

@@mikan1987 Koreans are genetically closer to Japanese, except for ones in Okinawa and the Ainu, than to Southern Chinese, so what your Korean friend said is a half-truth. But again, Koreans are genetically closer to Northern Chinese than to Japanese, so that likely means they also look closer to Northern Chinese than to Japanese. When it comes to the question, "Which do Japanese look closer to, Northern Chinese or Southern Chinese?", the answer is Northern Chinese because Japanese are genetically closer to Northern Chinese than to Southern Chinese. And as a Japanese person, I completely agree with it. I can easily tell who is Japanese and who is Southern Chinese. I've seen a lot of people say Japanese look like Southern Chinese, but I think that's because both Japanese people who have a lot of Jomon ancestry and Southern Chinese have some similarities such as relatively big eyes with double eyelids and short nose. You tend to focus on the eyes and the nose when looking at human faces, right? So I think a lot of people just don't notice the differences between Japanese people with strong Jomon features and Southern Chinese in facial features other than the main ones they tend to focus on. They have some similarities but actually are really different from each other if you look at their overall facial features. Like, if your focus is only on skin color, Europeans look closer to East Asians than to Indians, but the overall European facial features are definitely closer to Indians' than to East Asians'. Europeans and Indians are both Caucasoid after all.

The Chinese and Japanese people's pictures don't really look like the 90s, but I think the Korean ones do

the website was from like 15 years ago
