I'll try to respond to everyone's posts here... but if I missed any other points... - 01-03-2008, 03:29 AM

...repeat them.

OK... So basically many of you are disagreeing with me.

Someone said that you can determine the country a white person comes from physical appearance alone. I disagree. As I said in the original post. The best anyone can do is narrow it down to a region of countries in the continent. Blonde hair and blue eyes doesn't automatically mean German or Scandinavian. Many English, Irish and Scottish are also blonde haired and blue eyed. Ditto with the Redheads. Red hair doesn't automatically mean Irish and Scottish. Scandinavians and Germans can have red hair also.

Basically I'm applying this premise to East Asians. I think it's a logical conclusion to jump to. I mean if there is a distinguishable difference, I would love to know what exactly this (Europeans, Asians, Africans, Polynesians or whatever other "race" you can think of). I mean I'm not blind... if you point something out to me I'll be sure to see it.

MMM- you mentioned that the difference between Korean and Japanese was in the jawline... really? Is that scientific? Also while the link you gave me looks like fun, it's not very scientific either.

(Hmmm... I suppose it's not very fair of me to ask for scientific evidence in a light-hearted debate. Tell you what... if you can give me pics of two nationalities say Japanese and Korean for arguments sake.... and compare the two while highlighting the differences, and if I can't find two pics which prove you wrong then I'll concede )
