In general I have found that Japanese have longer faces, rounder eyes, thinner noses and are very light-skinned (unless they’re from Okinowa – in which case they are darker and look more like Hawaiians), Chinese are light also, but often have rounder faces, narrower eyes and broader noses. Koreans and Filipinos seem to be a little taller and darker, but with more European features (Spanish influence maybe), though some Koreans have quite African features. Not knowing the difference between the various Asian groups is similar to not being able to tell Germans, Italians, Irish and Brits apart, or Iraqis, Egyptians, Saudis, Iranians, Palestinians, Israelis, etc. – they may all have a common ‘look,’ but the differences within that ‘look’ are immense. And just so you don’t feel bad, my Japanese friend said he doesn’t understand why it’s considered offensive to not know Asian groups from each other, as he’s never been able to tell which Asian country people are from, and he’s Asian.
