Why do Asians look the same?

To blind people, everyone looks the same, even Yokozuna Asashoryu and Bruce Lee. Maybe white people also look the same to them?Why do Asians look the same? I do think that this might be an unintentionally racist statement. I have many Asian friends and they don't look same or even similarThat's is your perception. I remember once asking one friend what she thought about venezuelan people, and she described them as they were Mexican. Later I discovered that there are a large number of people who think that everything that is located below Texas is Mexico. There is not such thing as South America for them, all is one big continent called Mexico. They look the same for you. Referring to someone as Asian only identifies that they share a common geographycal position we call Asia. Japanese don't look in any mean alike from Chinese, but both are from Asia. paraphrase please too much info..From early childhood we seek to define the world within a base set of categories so as better to be able to understand and differentiate. Any primary encounter with a previously 'unknown' will cause us to redesign or, in extreme cases, created a new set of categories to fit our discovery. This practise continues throughout our entire lives usually resulting in an ever increasing number of categories i.e. Red Wine becomes Red Wine I Like and Red Wine I don't like which again becomes more precise They're perceived to look the same to you because you haven't typically had to differentiate between Asians before. I'm sure Americans all look the same, prima facie, to the naive Asian.Although this comment may sound racist, there is truth in it so begone potential trolls. Asians have very low rates of interracial marriage (at least in their home countries), even among other Asian "races". Plus, the culture pushes them to conform, so they usually have similar garbs/haircuts. No. Asian people dont look the same. For example; Iran... Are they look like Japon?
