Can you tell asians apart game

If you ever get Questions: 20 Attempts: Last updated: Sep 24, How good are you at telling Asians apart? Here you will find many pictures of Asians. It is your job to determine what ethnicity they are?

Questions: 19 Attempts: Last updated: Jun 21, General Knowledge Of Asia 1. Please do not attempt to cheat in this test. Sometimes they will have taller noses. Japanese also dye their hair often both guys and girls. Koreans are more of the opposite from Japanese in many ways, though they also have squinty eyes, they are not long or wide, they are usually the smallest of all Asian eyes they do not have much dimension to their facial structure.

Koreans dress much more business-like and will wear collared shirts and suit jackets, slacks, nice jeans, fashionable business attire, but not very modern-hollywood-wild style. Many Korean girls cut their bangs fringe straight across and often pull their hair back or flip it in but hardly ever out.

They wear big loop ear rings, baseball caps, lots of pink and pastel-bright colors and a lot of striped clothing. Most Korean men, wear a shaggy hair style that almost looks like Leggo hair. Chinese are somewhat of an in between in a few ways. Chinese facial structure varies as there are MANY different ethnic groups in China and it is so large and ancient, whereas the Korean and Japanese areas are much more dense and mostly of one origin or ethnicity.

For the most part the Han Chinese which makes up the majority of China are a more rounded face with flatter wider noses and also much more round and less-squinty eyes. Many Chinese people have double eye lids and bigger eyes, though there are of course several with small eyes too.

Chinese will sometimes dye their hair however they are much more conservative with styles. Taiwan is a blend of Chinese and Korean clothing style, which sometimes confuses people, but their facial features are very Chinese and not Korean.

HongKongese tend to let themselves tan as well and have a more southern Asian look mixed with their Chinese look, they also dress very business-like, but with some wild-styles too and currently are very into black rimmed glasses.

Hope that helps. I have spent much time with all 3 of them for years and that is only a drop in the bucket as to their differences. It takes being around them a lot to notice, but I can tell them apart from a mile away unless they are American-born or mixed, which can sometimes throw things off.

The above example pictures are not the ideal for showing their major differences, but are still good examples of many Japanese, Chinese and Korean people out there. Your description of the three groups is not really accurate.

The pure Han Chinese look would be slightly rounder eyes, long nose, tall stature, slender build, slightly squarish face, and light to medium dark skin. Zhang Yimou to me looks very purely Han Chinese and he is from Shaanxi. Except some of what you say is really inaccurate. This was a topic of discussion when I was back in college.

The test was given to Asians during college club hours to Asian clubs. And most only got a few right. Italian, Greek, Russian, etc. No one got even one right. My girlfriend is chinese and was raised in China. Your answers are wrong for both! The correct answers are in another blog post by this blogger. I got the ladies all correct, and only switched the Korean guy with the Japanese. No random guess work. For the men i can tell by their hairstyle HAIR korean- their hair tend to be down and wavy Chine- same as korean but split in half Japanese- tend to be messy sometimes.

How could you tell? What if the other race had the same hair as the others? I mean hair is HAIR. You can style it anyway you can.

Korean is peculiar. They have peculiar eyes. They look alike to me, Japanese. I was out at a bar in Japan with a Chinese friend who speaks Japanese well, but with an accent even I can hear, and a couple of Japanese people that we talked to thought that she was Japanese. These are just what I feel. A Southern Chinese who has been living overseas for generations.

Its just my guess since I do see quite a number of Chinese, Japanese and Korean people around. And personally, I feel that people who come from Northern and Southern China look slightly different, we Chinese can usually differentiate it among ourselves. Southern Chinese have slightly larger eyes on average. I live in Korea and see plastic surgery all day long. I know what it looks like. But you, my dear, need to calm down.

Apparently I struck a nerve. The following appear to be general findings: 1 Koreans are tall, square-faced high flat cheekbones with square jaws , with small eyes with single eyelids and pale faces. Think Frankenstein. Think Yoda. Think Buddha. Lol, leekonghian, I kept laughing in my bathroom in t middle of night, reading ur comment. U got it right, well, most of it, I think!

I nearly killed myself again, laughing too much. I am Japanese, by t way. Chinese people have weak cheekbones and rounder faces. Japanese people have very strong cheekbones.

If the kids are mixed part Japanese, Chinese, caucasian, etc all bets are off. Eric is correct. Man on the right is Satoshi Tsumabuki, a Japanese actor. Koreans: broad cheek bone, small mono-lid eyes, big jaw, flat nose, pale-yellow complexion, large face Chinese: broad cheek bone, small double-lid eyes, big jaw, flat nose, pale-yellow complexion, medium face Japanese: medium cheek bone, small double-lid eyes, medium jaw, small-non flat nose, pale-yellow complexion, medium face.

Asian or not. I know it sounds weird and uncanny but it kinda true for me. I could never tell Koreans from Japanese people though so… Yeahhhhh. Well im Korean myself. Koreans usually haves single eyelids and they have more of a round oval face. Chinese people usually have double eyelids and have a round face. Japanese people could have either but the double eyelids are usually creased in and they have a oval face.

Yes, I heard that plastic surgery became quite popular especially in Korea and Japan. I learnt that very often they want to have their eyes correct so that they look more European. Be proud of your special looks and cultivate your natural beauty.

Basically Chinese people are more better looking in general u can find that by walking on the streets in the 3 countries because of the variety and population. However, China also has the biggest number of ugly ppl also because of the population.

Ethnically, Koreans and Japanese are more similar to each other, they are closer and they speak the same system of language but a lot of Chinese words and u know why. However these two countries also had many Chinese immigrants too historically. I think — in general — the Japanese men are the most attractive of the three, then Korean and only then Chinese. Chinese, however, very often have beautiful women. In Japan I once saw a guy on the street looked really gorgeous.

Tall, slim, high cheekbones and long hair, that nice shiny black hair almost all Asians have.. Greetz from Germany. Nah Chinese men have superior facial features. Also when were Germans able to talk about beauty? Their women are considered to have the most masculine features in Europe lol. What an ignorant loser. You must have never traveled. Chinese has the highest number of good looking among all three by virtue of population, which would be just logic if you knew anything about math.

At least for me. But I think Japanese look quite different from the other two. So I guess: Japanese woman: 1, Japanese man: 3. Chinese woman: 2, Chinese man: 1. Korean woman: 3, Korean man: 2. I am only quite sure regarding the Japanese, however. As to my taste as a woman I travelled the 3 countries : The Japanese are the best looking, then Korean, then Chinese But there also beauties in China and Korea, of course. Greetz From Germany. Since Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are all basically the same people how can there be any difference?

The Korean peninsula was settled by people from what is now China. Japan had aboriginal people, the Ainu, Yamato and others before the arrival of people from the Korean peninsula. However today few Japanese can trace their ancestry to the aboriginal peoples of Japan. Modern day Japanese are essentially Koreans who have been in Japan for about the last 2, years.

Koreans in turn are descended from people from China. What all this means is that people from China, Korea and Japan are the same people separated by a few thousand years. Far too little time for any meaningful different physical characteristics to develop.

Japanese ancestors are divided into two types, the Jomon and Yayoi. Chinese ancestors are quite varied because China has a long history of invasion, conquest, and immigrations. There is a summary of Chinese ancestors bellow:. China prior to the Qin conquest consists of small kingdoms inhabited by different tribes with their own culture and civilization. When Qin Shihuang conquered many kingdoms, the people from the conquered areas were either killed or mixed with the Han Chinese immigrants or replaced by the Han Chinese immigrants from Central areas of China.

The Qin Dynasty also did numerous military campaigns which further spread the Han Chinese civilization and the Han Chinese settlers, there were noticeable amounts of Han Chinese settlers who were mixed with the natives from the conquered areas by Qin.

Then, the Qin collapsed because Qin Shihuang died, there were Han Chinese who migrated to the Southern areas of China to avoid the chaos that occurred after the Qin collapsed. After that, the Han dynasty established, Han dynasty was the first golden age of Chinese history.

Han dynasty reached its peak of glory during the rule of Emperor Han Wudi, Emperor Han Wudi conquered many areas within China and the Han Chinese culture and civilization spread again at the areas that Han Wudi conquered. Han Wudi also did numerous military campaigns that further spread the Han Chinese civilization and the Han Chinese settlers. Again, there were noticeable amount of Han Chinese who were mixed with the native settlers from the areas conquered by Han Wudi.

Then, the tribes from the areas of China that conquered by the Han Wudi were also either killed or mixed with the Han Chinese settlers. And there were also Korean, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Jurchen tribes that settled at the Northeast areas of China During the Han dynasty because of the conquests and conflicts that happened during the Han dynasty period.

Tang Dynasty finally established, during the Tang Dynasty period there was a noticablue amount of ethnic admixture at the Northern area of China that happened between the Han Chinese with either the Xianbei tribe or the Xiongnu tribe. Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes started to inhabit at the Northern areas of China during the Tang Dynasty period.

There is a Tang Dynasty record said that there were Arab, Turkic, Korean, Central Asian, and Persian tribes that came and settled at China because of the war and the migration that occured during the Tang Dynasty period. Another Tang Dynasty historical record also said that there were Tibetans who settled at China because of the war between Tang Dynasty China and the Tibetan kingdom occurred during the Tang Dynasty period. When Tang Dynasty collapsed, there were Han Chinese who migrated to the Southern areas of China to avoid the chaos that occurred when the Tang Dynasty collapsed.

Then, when the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, there were Jurchen who came to the Northern areas of China and settled there because of the war between the Northern Song Dynasty and Jurchen Jin dynasty. And then, the Mongols conqured Northern area of China and the Mongols settled there. Then, when the Mongols conquered China and established the Yuan dynasty, there was a depopulation occured at the Northern areas of China.

There was a depopulation occurred at the Northern areas of China because the Han Chinese who settled at the Northern areas of China either migrated to the other areas of China mostly to Southern area of China or got killed by the Mongols. There were Mongols who finally settled at the Northern areas of China and there were also people at the Northern areas of China who were mixed with Mongols. Then, there is also a historical record from Ibn-Battutah said that there were Egyptians settled at Hangzhou, China during the Yuan Dynasty period.

Ming Dynasty established after the Mongols got defeated by the peasant rebel named Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang became the first Ming Dynasty emperor under the title of Hongwu. During the Ming period, there were still Arabs and Persians that came and settled at China. When Manchus conquered China and established the Qing dynasty, the Han Chinese from the Northern areas of China were either mixed with the Manchus or moved to other areas of China mostly to Southern area of China or replaced by the Manchus.

And there were also people at the Northern areas of China who are mixed with Manchus. I got them all correct, but only because ive spent a lot of time living in Tokyo and have many Chinese and Korean friends. The best guess is based on language, or just asking the person straightforward.

I dont think it would be offensive at all to ask where someone comes from. I get the question often, as I look somewhat exotic in America. I believe I was both knowledgable and lucky in that I got all of my answers right.

I admit, there are some distinguishing differences between all the races, but it is hard for anyone to truly get it right every time. They do have a same fascination for women, so you could find much more female stars who look like each other between those countries.

The chinese woman here is not a typical chinese star, though famous. If i do not know pic 3, i would treat her as japanese. May be japanese men have a longer face than pic 3, or maybe not. Men : 1 Chinese smaller eyes and chinese wider cheekbones , 2 Japanese nose bridge is give away 3 Korean eye and mouth give away.

Koreans are immigrated Northern Chinese. Jilin province is right by the Korean border, where the Chinese actress used in this quiz is from. People from the Northeast area of China have Mongolian and Manchurian ancestries.

There are even some Han Chinese people who have mixed blood with the Mongolian or Manchurian. During the Yuan and Qing dynasties period, there are many Mongolians and Manchurians came and settled at the Northern area of China.

And during the Yuan and Qing dynasty periods, there were noticeable amount of Han Chinese people who are mixed blooded with Mongolians or Manchurians either because of intermarriage or rape. So I am not surprised if there are Chinese people from the Northeast area of China who could be passed as Korean. I am a Korean. As a Korean and Asian, I can distinguish between them by based on their fashion, hair and makeup style. However, only depending on face of us is actually very very difficult even for me or another Asian maybe.

But depending on theur style like above, it would make it much easier if you understand their style. For now, I have a question for the white. Real Koreans have square face shape. Some Japanese people I met are darker than most Koreans and Chinese.

Japanese of Jomon type or Jomon-Yayoi mix type tend to be darker skin on average. Look at Makiyo Kawashima and Kenzo Takada, they are rather dark-skinned. I think the more important point here is not to be able to tell the difference, but to know there IS a difference and to look at the person, not their racial ethnic group. We were at the Grand Canyon years ago when a Japanese tour bus made a stop. We approached a couple to offer to take a photo of them with their camera and greeted them with Konichiwa, to which they politely thanked us and said they were Korean.

I blame the bus, but we got a really nice photo for them! Before you call me a racist, all white people look alike to me too. Gong Li Chinese Female does not have typical Chinese facial features, especially her nose. A better representation would be Zhang Ziyi or Tang Wei. I knew that the middle ones were Chinese partially because I recognized Wang Leehom but the Japanese guy really looks Korean. An interestingly trollish exercise in exposing stereotype.

Likewise, because there are several different ethnic groups in each country, which have mixed with others to form homogeneous racial features, you cannot distinguish ethnic group based on racial characteristics. The only thing that you can distinguish based on racial characteristics is race. And all of the people in the pictures above are East Asian. Thus, the joke is on the more than hundred of you in these comments who have insisted otherwise! Koreans tend to have single eyelids.

They also tend to have more square shaped faces. Usually not heavy on lip gloss, likes stains or the smooth lipstick look instead. Rarely do you see Korean women with heavy, dark and bold colored makeup. Hair style — both bangless and bangs. If they have bangs it can be side swept like Japanese or thick and straight across.

They seem to have more women who like short bob cuts too. I notice they tend to wear glasses more often than Japanese and Chinese men too. Also I think they are taller on average than Chinese and Japanese. Some have narrow, angular faces while others have round, oval faces.

Some of them have natural double eyelids and some have single eyelids. Some of them are naturally pale while others are super tan like a SE Asian. So I have look at their styling like for women — they usually have bangs that are side-swept or straight but layered, not straight across like Korean. Of course Korean and Chinese women also dye their hair but I notice more Japanese women with dyed hair than the others. On average they seem to have more people with thin, sharp and sometimes arched and penciled in eyebrows than Korean too.

For men, they usually have long hair by guy standards with bangs. They also dye their hair more than Korean and Chinese guys. Think Uniqlo , or the super fashionista types that go all out with accessories like scarves, man bags and jewelry LOL. Chinese faces vary so much because their country is so big and so obviously depending on the region some people will have features that resemble similar to the neighboring country. Like Japanese, some people have super angular faces while others have round faces.

Some are naturally very pale while others like in Southern China are very tan. Their nose tend to be a little bigger on average than Korean and Japanese. Style wise — for women they tend to have natural hair styles long and black and they tend to be bangless.

But the layered bob cut also seems popular. Eyebrows — varies, can be thick and straight but unlike Korean, almost always black; or arched but not as thin and pointy as Japanese. Makeup — out of the three, Chinese women tend to have the sheerest makeup. I see Chinese women wearing bold red lipstick again, only on special occasions, not normal everyday wear more often than Korean or Japanese women. They are super light with blush. For men — they tend to have the shortest hair out of the three, especially how the sideburns are usually shaved in short and buzzcut top or the top hair is like fluffy and sticking out everywhere.

Some of them have long, smooth hair like Japanese guys. Some of them have kpop idolish style hair cuts but with stiff, choppy bangs. In the north you get all white skinned Chinese people. I am a Chinese girl, it is very easy for me to tell the difference, For men, it is Karean,Chinese and Japanese.

For women it is Japanese, Chinese and Karean. I think they are distinguishable, to some extent. Hair styles, the way they dress, and the way they act are some of the most important clues. Without that, it would be way more difficult to tell. They assumed I was Japanese and came speaking to me in Japanese.

Do I look Japanese to them? I am ethnic Chinese from Macau by the way. I can usually tell by the hair. With chinese people, their hair is usually normal and natural. Finally, I love japanese people but I have to say that their hair game is pretty darn weak. It seems like their hairdressers are stuck in the early s. It suits them. Korean people celebrities definitely not included generally have hooded, almond shaped eyes and wider faces. I would say look at the hair, Japanese have extremely straight hair e.

Either way they are very good looking people. The hairdresser that worked at my favorite saloon told me that Japanese people mostly have very straight and stiff hair like needles, while Koreans tend to have thick and silky hair.

Chinese people have more varied hair type, ranging from thick and silky to coarse and stiff. A lot of white skinned people in thailand have white blood from white Dai Race of Altai mountains and white mon-khmer. I guessed on the other two. Eyes are small and cat-looking, high bridge, high cheekbones, flat forehead covered in bangs. If you look to the side you can place a piece of paper to crop their nose and it actually goes straight down my friend stationed in Korea taught me that.

I often mistake them for other countries because they are such a big country and not as homogeneous as Korea nor Japan. What a stupid quiz. Most Asians can differentiate on appearance almost immediately without such nitpicking. It has to do with mannerisms, facial features, even subtle things like nose shape, jaws, cheekbones. I am Southeast Asian but I only got 2 pics correct, and both are Japaneses!

I ust wanna say, stop watching dramas! See, China mainland is just as wide as from India until Japan Sea. So, not all Chinese-Japanese-Korean citizens have a similar facial features, especially Chinese.

China has many provinces and each provinces has a typical face features. They look Southeast Asian! I could easily distinguish them from Japanese expats because they have rounder face, high cheekbones, and more slanted eyes than Japanese people. And do you know Okinawan people?

Well, Okinawa is Southern Japanese. They have rounder face and rounder eyes, also some of them have tan skin. As Southeast Asian myself, I distinguish between Chinese-Japanese-Korean people with no standout characteristic by their fashion style, especially girl. I am Southeast Asian but I only got 2 correct, and both are Japaneses! I just wanna say, stop watching dramas! PS: I am talking about Chinese-Japanese-Korean people in general probably those from big cities, lol!

I can tell the difference between a Taiwanese and a Fujianese despite them having a common ancestor. So guess by process of elimination. If not Korean. If not Japanese, then Chinese. Share this test on social media - let's see how your friends pull it through. You're pretty good at things that relate to human faces. You often correctly read people's emotions by their faces and can recall where did you see a person even if you met him once.

Above all things, you are good at distinguishing the Chinese from the Japanese and the Koreans although sometimes you make mistakes. You'll definitely make a lot of friends in Asia when you go on a journey there. By all appearances, you're quite bad at any faces. You don't know how to read people's emotions by them. It's hard for you to recall where you saw a person even if you met with him a dozen times.

And, in addition, you can't distinguish a Chinese from a Japanese or a Korean. This is a tricky one too since modernization tends to make everything look the same.

I avoided photos that contained signs that are too obvious, like the letters that are unique to each culture. Keep in mind that the food cultures are constantly being imported and exported.

This is not a test of identifying the origin.
