Uhh no. Asians don't look like white people.

I've been to japan, China and I personally see Asians every day and they don't look nothing like White people.

Eye shape isn't the only thing. Their mouth shape, hair, face shape are completely different from the typical white person. Hell, I've seen enough native Japanese people that I can sort of tell apart a native Japanese and Chinese person sometimes.

I've lived and worked in Asia for four years breh. You can sort of tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese people? Its easy as fukk to tell the difference between Koreans, Japanese and Chinese breh, are you trolling? :snoop: The moment a student walks into my classroom I know exactly what country they are from.

Yeah, if I never came into contact with Japanese people as much as up till last year, every Asian person I saw was either chinese or maybe Korean. Where I live, it's mainly Chinese people that make up the Asian group. I didn't see many japanese people until I went to Japan last year and started consuming Japanese media. If you never saw a group of people, then you wouldn't be able to tell them apart at first glance.

I'd say you can tell who's who from the moment they walk in because you've gotten used to certain characteristics of people. Don't act like you can tell 100% of the time though :stopitslime:

It's the same with telling apart certain black people.

Quick, where are these people from?

No idea breh. I'm just telling you I can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Korean people (and you can extend to a lot of other Asian countries as well). I don't have that skill regarding people born on the African continent or elsewhere, because I've never lived there. :manny:

that's why I said i can't quite tell because I never lived in Asia but going to Japan and seeing Japanese people a lot I can sort of tell. Now I can sort of tell just off of a feeling but face wise there are some Chinese that look Japanese and vice versa. Once they speak English I can tell from the accent as I know how Japanese accent in English sound. If they start speaking then it's 100% obvious as I can tell native Japanese speakers apart from foreigners but theres some good foreigners that speak fluently.

For me a good cosplay looks like the character with great attention paid to detail. Sometimes skin color plays into that.

For example, a pale white dude dressing up as Luke Cage would look ridiculous on many levels. The skin color matters

On the other hand, this black family dressed up as the Simpsons and pulled it off well
