All Asians Are Chinese?
No. There are quite a few types of Asian people living in America, not all "Asian-looking" people are from China. Some may ask, "Then how can you tell?" Asians all share similar physical traits, but do not all look the same. If some people were to actually pay attention and really look, there are subtle differences physically depending on which nationality of Asian they are. Plus, if they do speak another language other than English, that's a dead giveaway of what he or she may be. Well to risk not offending a person, it would be more polite to just ask.

In France, it's also the same thing : people tend to think that all Asians are Chinese, they saw an Asian man in the street and they systematically think that he's a Chinese boy(because most Asian people that live in France are Chinese so people tend to generalize)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there are some differences in the features of the face, the color of the skin too.
