sorry for so many posting on this community...
Now I am Egypt. here is not capital but so rural district.
They have rarely met foreigners so much before.
Many Egyptians students asked me this question...
WHY are you Asians face including Japan, China, Korea very alike?
Is it related to Hiroshima Nagasaki Bomb?
I have learned like this before.
,they said.
I was so astonished that I could not respond to them....
and I told my roommate from Iraq, and he said,
I also learned like them!
Did anybody here also learn like this?
our appearlance has nothing to do with the nuclear bomb.haha

that it has to do with the atomic bomb is rather silly actually and doesn't make much sense in any way.
Japanese, chinese and koreans, probably have overlapping ethnic ancestors (with enough mixed breeding), like half western europe has, so they look a bit alike. Of course this was already thousands of years BC, so the atomic bomb last century had nothing to do with that -_-
well I'm sure you know by now, that it is incredibly difficult for most people outside asia to tell koreans japanese and chinese apart, there is nothing surprising in that, but of course if you look closely there are differences, more then between a german and a Dutch person I think, but don't expect people to easily notice.
As for what they learn on this things, I highly doubt everything they learn is close to the truth or even the widely accepted truth. It's they same how in Japan misconceptions about western culture is often learned (I really got weird questions sometimes). Its just a typical case of misconception about other cultures happening everywhere in the world, although I have to say that the explanation about the atomic bomb is rather silly, since it doesn't even make sense ...

> One simple question. There is a Caucasian person standing right in front of you. Can you tell where he is from?
I believe by Caucasian, you mean a white person. The answer would be yes, though one would need a LOT of experience. For example, a Finnish person looks different from German, different from Russian, different from Spanish, and different from Irish. Just as a Chinese person looks different from Japanese, different from Tibetan, and different from Filippino. But you need to really pay attention to subtle details to notice that.

Good lord, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Tell them that asian faces are similar because it's a side effect of Godzilla's reptilian aura. That makes about as much sense.

ユギ,

That's exactly my point. If Chinese, Koreans and Japanese all look the same, it's usually because you're not experienced enough to tell the difference.
That said, the line does get blurry when you talk about countries like the U.S. where people come from all over the world.

I call bullshit on the idea that anyone can tell different Asians apart reliably. "Most of the time", sure, but I've lived in Japan a long time, and I've met barrels of people that, if you saw them in New York or wherever, anyone would swear they were Filipino or Korean. Hell, I've known Japanese folks that *other Japanese folks* mistake for Filipino. A friend of mine is married to a girl whom everyone mistakes for Chinese.
Sure, once you're experienced you can tell the typical Japanese face from the typical face of somewhere else, but there's a hell of a lot of people who deviate from the typical face.

yeah, right about that. I saw multiple times where Japanese didn't recognized the other person as Japanese. Like a person I knew had a uncommon name, some people thought she was korean. They couldn't easily say she was Japanese and just saw a uncommon name.
I have the same, I can tell typical Japanese faces easily apart from chinese and Korean, but the not so typical faces, really not easy to tell apart, if not impossible.

First of all, whoever that asks questions like "Asians look all the same" had never had Asian friends or have been to Asian countries. After getting known to diversity of ethnicities from Europe, I can somewhat tell the difference between French, Greek, Italian, Polish, and Russian.
Asians are descended from Mongols. However, Japanese people used to be similar to Fillippinos because Japan was isolated from the continent. Facial similarities between Japanese and Chinese people are due to the immigration of Chinese trives to Japan about 2,000 years ago. That's why some Japanese people are still easy to tell among the Chinese.

>but many of you folks seem to think i'm Japanese. How come?
Like I mentioned before, Japanese people have mixed blood between the Chinese and the Japanese.
Some Japanese people represent faces different from the Chinese, and others dnt.
It is not surprising that your Japanese friends think that you are Japanese because they are all from Chinese descendants as well.
