I'm Asian and I look like one so my answer would be: I generally look like my race.

Your views about it can be whatever, just don't be rude Sorry if something like this was already done. im partially god... the rest of me is just pure awesomeness in the shape of a man. no but seriously, who cares? i dont want to piss on your self-deceit but you look asian... you clearly have all the asian features, its just that you cover your face with teddybears and stare like a maniac into the camera (so the eyes look bigger)... staring like that wont make you look more like westerner but it does make you look weird, so congrats :) i think you are in denial um yeah, sorry if i was rude in anyway, just like to keep it short and straight to the point and where the fuck in her post does it say she wants to look white? fuck off troll and don't be so conceited. ne way on topic I'm 100% korean, as far as I can tell, and i've asked my parents if they were korean and they said our ancestors were as korean as korean gets lol, but people say I don't look korean did you get offended? i think you look asian (koran, chinese, japanese, vietnamese... its all the same) Yes, offended by your conceit and ignorance. If you consider korea, china, japan, vietnam etc to be all the same, then would you consider england, france, and germany to be all the same? We have very different cultures, so don't be categorizing them into the same group. We wasn't talking about culture... french and germans look almost identical.. there is just a "myth" that french people have big noses Culture makes a big part of who we are. You lose your culture, you lose your identity. Anyways, asians can differentiate other asians apart from each other very accurately. Just because you can't tell the difference doesn't mean everyone else can't. Time to step outside of that little bubble of yours and learn to appreciate other parts of the world for once |

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide I disagree with that last post. Culture makes people different, not just clumped up into one group. To be in a culture means that you're a part of something that has been passed down by your ancestors. Because I'm mixed, it has been very hard for me my whole life to an identity because I wasn't sure which way to go. But I don't want to become just like them, I just want to not feel like I'm missing out on all of the amazing things I can experience in life. It is important for me to be a piece of my own foundation. I also don't like how lifeless the American culture is. Watching tv... eating McDonalds... Bowling?? Lol. I'd rather be with people like my family (who I can never see because they live in Hawaii). So race is not the same thing as your culture but it plays a big part of being accepted and recognized. |

"Culture makes people different, not just clumped up into one group." Wrong, culture doesnt create individuality, its the other way around... and trust me, its muuch better to experience a culture if you are cultureless (like me)... muslims, for example, do not find their culture anything special because they have experienced their whole life... a pizza in the weekend doesnt taste good if you dont eat potatoes on the weekdays... get it? Do explain what you mean by accepted and recognized... |

You lose your culture, you become nothing more than a single beast struggling to survive. Did you not say korean, chinese, japanese vietnamese as all the same? And if you were only talking about looks, I already said, people can identify whether they are chinese/vietnamese/korean/japanese. Its only when it gets mixed that it starts getting hard. For example, today I just signed up for an interact club in my school, and a girl asked me if I was korean. Same thing happened when I joined my korean club, I didn't speak a word of korean and they immediately recognized me. Just simple coincidence? I doubt it |

I doubt it Its not that people from europe doesnt look the same, its just that europe has a much larger variety of "looks".. i mean, alot of people i know including myself has been mistaken for coming from another country... but in europe you cant tell where people are from because they look so different (there is nothing typical for any country), in asia you cant tell where they are from because they look the same... for instance, i know a girl with one green eye and one blue, brown hair and white skin....she could be from any country in europe really. I dont agree with you on the culture discussion but thats a whole different thing that you suddenly started talking about.. anyways, im pulling out of this discussion now. |
