Solved It


So a burning question has been occupying the YouTube Asian community:
How does one tell apart different Asian nationals, specifically the Korean,
Chinese and Japanese. Because the ubiquitous 'WhereYaFrom' does get
a little wearisome, outside Chinese restaurants.

Well doxa-louise has an answer.

Q: How do you tell a Korean, Chinese or Japanese apart?
A: Ask him to write down his name!  

Alright, it's a joke. Because the scripts from the three countries are easily identifiable.

                                          KOREAN           JAPANESE          CHINESE

Maybe the cool thing is to just don't ask. But it is tempting, because for everyone else
one has an initial reasonable guess ie I can tell an Italian from a Scandinavian, which
is not always the case for an East Asian. I'm at peace with it.
