Japanese disguised as Koreans? Huh.
I make a game of secretly guessing peopleās Asian ancestry by their facial features, but keeping it in my head so as not to sound like a dumbass to other people. I learned this from my paternal grandfather who was an expert in Asian anthropology.
This one had me stumped. I guess itās an effective camoflage.
With enough makeup, we all look alike.
I know youāre taking the piss but do you honestly think Koreans and Japanese look different?
I remember in P.E. class at college me, this Korean guy and this black girl were having a conversation. She told the Korean guy she could tell he was Korean and not Chinese. He said what do you mean we look exactly the same.
Iām not good at guessing Asian peopleās ethnicities. But I can usually tell if someone is Vietnamese. Iāve asked people when I meet them if they are Vietnamese or not and theyāre surprised I could tell. Filipinos are easy to tell so that doesnāt mean anything. I met this Filipino cashier at Target and I asked her if she was Filipino and she was shocked. She was like how did you know I was Filipino are you half Filipino? I explained to her that Iām from California and not Texas so I know what Filipinos look like.

Itās probably just me but the Korean and Japanese language sound similar. I was watching Fighter in the Wind which is a movie based on Mas Oyama and I got confused as hell when Oyama spoke Japanese in a Korean accent.
It donāt make any difference in the jungle, baby.
We are all cousins. A Hawaiian taught me that.
If we were all cousins that would mean I fucked my cousin. I donāt fuck my cousins, Iām not from Texas.
Always with the racism.

Or as they call it, ācontentā.
RiP Matthew Perry for that joke.

Well at least you can recognize their languages. Most non asians canāt. Japanese people say they can recognize another Japanese person overseas based on their clothing.
I tried to learn Mandarin once upon a time, it blew my mind how linguistically different (pitches/tones used to change the meaning of words) it was to English, also helped me understand why so many chinese people struggle to learn english.
Iām thinking of learning a new local language and itās the same reason iām thinking of going for Zulu over Xhosa (there are 14 official languages here)
ā¦ also wouldnāt mind learning sign language, i guess time will tell if i commit to either.
I read this book named Kaffir Boy a long time ago. Itās an autobioraphy about a black man growing up in South Africa during apatheid. One of the things that freaked me out about his life was how many languages he knew. If I remember correctly he knew 6 or 7 different languages. On top of the multiple African languages he knew he was also fluent in Afrikans and Englsih.
A random thought popped into my head. I remember playing this video game called Shenmue. This 18 year old Japanese kid interrogates all the Chinese people in the neighborhood because the guy who killed his father was Chinese.
You are a Saffa ! my dad is from Durban.
Everyone spoke English when I was there , they all spoke Afrikaans and Zulu (my family are brainos) too but never used any of it and in my family they spoke English as if they were English with an accent like Scouse or Mancs but many would argue far better than the Scouse and mancs.
Yeah 100% 
Durban is crazy hot, we go there in winter to lie on the beach. haha. Your dad probably suffers when itās cold. Youāre in the UK right? Lots of Saffas there. I travel there every now and then for work.
Yeah 100%, the two most commonly spoken languages are English and Afrikaans, the third is Zulu. Iāve never been in an area where I couldnāt use English or Afrikaans. I want to learn Zulu just to learn an African language, also to understand people around me when they are talking, in South Africa you are often in a position where people are talking around you in a language you donāt understand.
Many consider Afrikaans a native language as well, but that is more contested.
ā¦ been a while since i heard that.
