Over the years I have tried to train myself to differentiate between various Asians and can now--in a reasonably reproducible manner--differentiate between Vietnamese, Koreans, Chinese and Japanese. While the differences among them may not be as clear as those between red and brown hair, they do exist.

And the Asians probably have an easier time telling each other apart than they do the various breeds of European. Likewise, I can't tell apart a Pathan from a Tajik from a Baluchi, but THEY sure as heck can.

I thought it was interesting that when I went to Italy, Italians seemed to know that I was half Italian (without even aksing).
