[J]

I’m from Vancouver, where there is a huge Chinese population, and I find it offensive when whites ask me what a particular word means in Chinese, or when Chinese people come up to me and start speaking in their native language. I don’t mind if it comes from children, but I get very annoyed with adults. To answer your question, there is a way but it’s not always 100 percent accurate. Generally, people from mainland China or Korea tend to be a little taller, have the stereotypical ‘squinty’ Asian eyes, and are usually fairer. Southern Asians (including Filipinos and Indonesians) tend to be shorter, darker-skinned and have large round eyes. Vietnamese people tend to be pretty fair, with large eyes, but they tend to be quite small on average (for guys, usually around 5’7″), and Japanese people are also fairly short and tend to be fairer, with squinty eyes. I’m Korean, but many people automatically assume I’m Chinese, which I do find annoying. I think it’s great what you are doing and it sounds like your children will grow up to be intelligent, considerate people.
