Serious question: why do they all look the same?
Honestly, if you were to walk in that room from behind, how would you be able to identify anyone within 5 seconds?
i wonder how many asian parents lost their kids and just grabbed the closest one they could find because they're all the same anyways befuddlement
But yeah, caucasians are the only people with any sort of variety. goonish
This is something I've stomached and kept within the acidic depths of my tummy. Holding it down for decades, because I cannot understand how THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!
Even on the street, I just encountered a group walk past me and my friend on a tourist street (Haight) and he said, "notice how they all looked the same."

It makes me wonder if to other races all whites are the same, but to Asians fellows Asians all look vastly different.

That's what I was thinking when looking at that picture. O_0
I can usually distinguish what part of Asia someone is from, but I will admit if a bunch of them are all Japanese, for example, I would have a hard time distinguishing between individuals.
Also, Native Americans can look quite different from each other
Yeah I've always thought that maybe they have the same problem when looking at white people. I really don't know how they do it.

They all look the same to me. n_u
That's a lot of glasses
I just noticed... it seems like most Asian-Americans are always clean-shaven
in this particular case probably because of cultural insularity and more broadly genetic insularity
the former limits expression of individuality which means little variation in dress and grooming and the latter means that physical traits that are rare in most other areas have been propogated and amplified throughout the generations because of comparitively limited gene pools
also anyone else ever notice how asians have squinty eyes baddood;

Japanese women with blonde hair are pretty much perfect, and the only thing better is a good persian or arab lass.
Well, I can distinguish between Asians more easily than Africans. But Europeans are much more distinguishable among themselves than any other race in my opinion.
Also this is an odd face to see just randomly in that: [spoiler](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii288/bluaki/aznface.png)[/spoiler]

That's because it's not really a natural hair color over there... it's not in their gene pool. Asians are pretty much exlusively brunette.
When I was younger, I had blonde hair. I went to visit Germany, and some Asian tourists asked to take pictures of me just because it was something they didn't get to see very often goonish
because they have evolved past different appearance
i had asains.

She fucked Asians?

If I were azn my hair would be all sorts of awesome and my cosplaying skills would improve 10-fold. baddood;
But I had a chinese friend who went to china a few summers ago for a family reunion type thing, and he swore to me that in a big room of all the men in his family, he could not identify his own father.
and then he went to an "authentic western cuisine" steakhouse that wasn't authentic at all and that story is the funniest asian story I've ever heard, but I'll save it for another day. doodella;

My white 7th grade science teacher was married with a Japanese woman and their kid had the squinty eyes and the blonde hair. It was weird.

i really hope you don't mean the ganguro variety
it's because of the lack of the 23rd chromosome

no, i mean ones that dye their hair blonde and are otherwise normal people
although i admittedly think ganguro ladies are kind of appealing befuddlement
LOL a Chinese mail order bride site is in the advertisement box as I'm replying... (they all look pretty much the same too)
Well, although I'm mainly of Asian descent, I personally have trouble telling faces apart, I could also be abnormally unobservant to people's faces, I can barely pick myself out of photos sometimes, even though I have a fairly unique face.
