		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; Now, you change your opinion?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

1) Huh, no.
2) What opinion? I merely stated that most Japanese are thoroughly unable to tell a Korean from an ethnic Japanese in the street. And this is not an opinion, it&#039;s a fact (please by all means, go check if you don&#039;t believe me). 
3) If I was to change my &quot;opinion&quot;, it certainly wouldn&#039;t be on account of a bunch of losers ranting on a public forum somewhere between their 200th thread on &quot;why Japanese girls are so easy&quot; or 50th call for help on how to finish their homemade Pikachu costume...

So... what opinion, again?</description>

		<description>You know, Felix, I think she actually meant &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; facial features, not just nationalities (an admittedly fleeting one)... Funny in that you usually hear that in English, not in Japanese ;)

As for AllLookSame.com, I remember doing it a while back and getting a rather miserable score... But I&#039;m not overly concerned: I don&#039;t know of any Japanese who could tell for sure an ethnic Korean from a Japanese, let alone differentiate other countries in Asia... I would tend to consider it a similar problem to European countries: sure you have good chances to spot a Swede from a southern Frenchman... But there are many short dark-haired people in Sweden, and a few tall blond ones in France...</description>
