I think that all asian girls look the same for instance all asian girls hav short/long black hair and wear jeans and one time i saw this girl at this plaza and i thought it was my friend cuz she wears jeans her body figure looks like her and she had long hair and i saw a glimpse of her and it looked like her but turned out it wasnt
Mr.Q
All Asian girls? NO
Asian is not an ethnic group so it is remotely impossible for all of us to look the same. You are probably a non-asian for saying that.
East and some SE asians have similar physical features(search for Mongoloid), this doesnt mean they're the same people though. Asians are the minority in the US and we tend to live in communities.....I don't have time to explain all this but your question was too vauge. Before you ask this question, please notice the Arab countries and the SOuth Asian countries(India) are also Asian.

of course not all asian girls look the same because there are many asians such as chinese, vietnamese, korean, japanese, etc that have different facial features and skin color.

I understand what wallace411 is talkin about. I think that a lot of Chinese girls look and dress a like. Esepcially those who are from certain parts of China. Of course culture plays a huge role on what people wear and how they style themselves but the strangest thing is the stature does appear fairly similar.

I know i know i am over generalizing as i am sure in any race there are a lot of people taht look similar not just in the Chinese race.

no not really.. thats kinda dumb to say cuz its not jus Asian grls that wear jeans, so does everybody else. so i suppose that if a white grl w/ blonde hair was wearin jeans n u mistaked her for sumone else, all blondes would look the same?? thats jus stupid.

To Mr.O , Socially the word "Asian" is often regarded to as only EAST ASIAN in North America, so Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan.
ipigS2bearyou
lol..
short/long hair..
so not ONE asian girl has "medium" length hair?

mm, yes.
asian girls wear jeans.
so does everyone in america
and probably 2/3 if the world

you amuse me : )
PinkLashBling
haha...
yeah its true, asian girls wear jeans and have long/short hair. But doesnt most girls wear jeans and have long/short hair?
flyhigh92
argh i just hate it when people say stuff like that like azn people look a like. NO. just cuz they where the same clothing and stuff, doesnt make them look like each other

I dont think they all look the same. Usually I am pretty good at telling the difference between a Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Filipino. When it comes down to Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Cambodian, Indonesian, Malay and Lao people though, it gets a little more difficult for me. But they certainly dont all look the same.
glk
dats a stupid question
seriously u can answer this urself, its like u just want some afz or something
obviously no race looks the same nor any1 looks identical to each other, other than maybe 1/1000,000,000 twins
Akiana
I think that all caucasian girls look the same for instance all caucasian girls hav short/long blond/brown/red hair and wear t-shirt and one time i saw this girl at this plaza and i thought it was my friend cuz she wears t-shirt her body figure looks like her and she had brown hair and i saw a glimpse of her and it looked like her but turned out it wasnt

laugh.gif sorry.. i couldn't help but rephrase your paragraph....

The question is to vague... you're generalizing nearly almost 1/2 of the world's population!!
It's like asking: don't you think all girls look alike? ....
freesia
i actually understnad what this person is trying to say

i think this esp applies to hong kong girls.

last time i went there --- nearly all of the teenage girls looked the same practically! the hair (layered) (almost mullet like), the clothes they wore were of same fashion, their height , their body shape....

i guess it's the media and the trend in hk --- but even my family and friends said they agree with me.

there ought to be more variety in fashion in hk me thinks.

i think this esp applies to california girls
because all the girls here all have side bangs and layer their clothing
sleep.gif joke, sarcasm

your ridiculous
i wont even say anymore.
space_kandie
definately not, but theres always a few people that look similar but if you look at western girls/wherever else or even guys for that matter. Some of them might look similar too
lolysmile
NO!!! Definetely NO!!! I mean, people who look alike is quite normal, it doesn't just happen with Asian girls. But most of the time, they're all different. Sure, they may have some similiar facial features but doesn't mean that Asian girls all look the same.
Kenway
The question really don't make sense to me ... wearing Jeans and T-shirt with long hair den looks the same ... ??? den i think u will have some hard time searching for ur fren when u go out shopping with them ...
Seiyagy
Sometimes I got to agree when they have black straight hair it's hard to regonize them from the back dry.gif When it's face to face it's lots easier, but at a distance I say no...=]
mandrew
in terms of make-up and dyed hair, i think theres a certain type of viet girls that are like clones!

DYED BLONDE HAIR, skinny, lot of make-up, mini skirt or tight jeans or pants = Sexy Viet Clones
usuZumi
i really don't think that all asian girls, umm or guys look the same. of course there are some people that look a bit alike but this goes to very race.
solemnmite
If you mean you literally cannot tell Asian girls apart and think they look the same a la how some non-Asians view Asians, then I'd say no. However, if you mean it in the sense that many Asian girls have a similar look, then I agree. Many Asian girls are petite with fair skin, long hair, and dress in a similar style. It's the epitomical Asian girl look. Although they don't literally look the same, they all kind of start to look the same after awhile (if that makes sense). To make a comparison, think of an epitomical Caucasian girl look: tanned with blond hair and blue eyes. Sure, not every white girl with this look is literally going to resemble other girls with a similar look but if you see a sea of girls with this look, they do seem to look the same after awhile. It's like seeing the same thing over and over again.
killerhertz
i have some friends that look like the same from behind, i called my friend but it was my other friend and i got so embarassed ahhhhhh! I got so red...

... people are dumb...

There's a scientific reason why you believe "some people" look the same and it applies to everyone.

If a Chinese person saw a "white person" for the first time, what do you think he/she is going to notice? Her blond hair, her large nose, large mouth and her deep-set eyes (because the traditional Chinese has black hair, small nose, small mouth and shallow eyes).

So if this Chinese remembers the "white person" by "the difference that makes her who she is" and encounters a GROUP of "white girls". He would see almost the same features in EVERYONE of them (and guess what? they all wear short skirts !). How would the Chinese person react? He would think all "white people" look the same. Why? Because:

"The differences between individuals of the same ethic group is smaller in magnetude comparing with the differences between individuals of different ethic groups."

DUH !!! Is that hard to understand?

For example, there was an experiement where a group of monkey was locked in a cage with a tv screen and a outlet (which drops food). Everytime when the monkey was supposed to be fed, they will display the picture of a white guy (a researcher) on the screen. Then seconds after, food will be dropped. This went on with different pictures of the researcher in different clothing (with food dropped), and sometimes they show a picture of a dog or an inanimate object (with no food dropped).

After the monkeys' been conditioned to it (they noticed an increase in production of saliva everytime the researcher's photo was shown), they showed a picture of a black woman and tested the monkeys' reaction. All the monkey showed an increase in production of saliva right after the picture of the black women was shown (even with no food drop).

The test was not conclusive but it suggested that most people tend to ignore "relatively smaller differences" when they see bigger ones.

The original poster saw the long straight black hair (compare to 10 blonds nearby) and jeans (compares to dress pants and skirts nearby) and make the mental "leap" that this might be her friend.

Different race facial-regconization is actually used as a method to test IQ in younger children (for a while, but it is replaced with more mathematical pattern regconization now); which means the BETTER you can tell people apart, the smarter you are (because of your ability to see differences and details where other people missed).

Some asian girls look alike...especially if they're related. LOL

I know quite a few asian girls who don't have black hair and don't wear jeans. There are some obvious differences in the asian races (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)....so no I do NOT think all asian females look alike.
blue*star
no. not ALL asian girls look the same gauhldf;vcfd i hate it when people say things like this. i know so many people who go "but she looks exactly the same as she (another) does" !! and i get soo pissed off. i am continously mistaken for my friend, who is continously mistaken for me. DFOI;JVCLKA

no. they dont.
devo0
i think other races look the same too. i can't tell some of my dotter's classmate apart. however,
i can tell the asians apart. we do not look the same!!
sababoy
well... i dont see it! Everyone is different I dont see lots of asian girls look alike... None what so ever! and yes people do mistake me for someone else, but it happens! what can you do about it? Just say ok and forget about it!
partygirl
i don't think that is true..everyone has a different look and is unique unless they're twins
MangoGirl151
Are you asian? Just wondering.
At school some guys were looking at this picture of this girl, on the international door, were they had pictures. They said "Hey your pictures on the door", i looked and it was one of my friends. Except she wears glasses and i dont.
Teachers always call me different names. I find it offensive. I can tell the difference, no one looks the name.
Not every asian wears jeans. By the way i HATE wearing jeans, and im asian.
You said "I think ALL asians look the same"
Firstly, have you meet every asian? Im guessing not.
You are stereotyping asians, im sure you have seen heaps of asians, but not everyone.
Be careful of your words they can offend.
weedpeach
yes! a majority of them do!
especially the guys in my school.
they all kinda dress alike and the haircuts are kinda similar so i mistake a lot of then for other guys sometimes!
ms. ait
i think so too but only koreans,chinese,japanese or taiwanese do really look the same. pinoys have the same features with indonesians and malaysian.
--Ads by Google--
eh? not all asian girls are alike. duh!
what's with the jeans? we can all wear that.
not just asian girls but all people except those who refuse to.
and with the long hair, i don't think so..
maybe you're in a place where mostly you see are those girls with long hair. happy.gif
feagle
unless you're not asian, but it is funny to hear that. you could say they react the same sometime, but not the look.
narutov2
i agree, americans or foriegners see us to look the same, i mean really? are they blind, well i can't say that since i sometimes feel the same for Americans, they dress in the same way in school.
f/c/j
I think it has more to do with style and fashion, the same could be said to "why do all blondes loook the same?".
skYmaster
What? No. If you talk about northeast asian girls and southeast asian girls, then I can definately tell them aprt. NE asians and SE asians definately have different facial features.
crazy4sushi
this is whats called ethnocentrism meaning that sometimes we think a certainr ace or gender all looks the same, its just the brain playing games with us ahha
peace2you
I personally think it has more to do with respect for that particular culture. As an African American I can tell you that it was said many times that all black people look alike. This was back in the clan killing days. They didn’t want to see us for who we were so it was easy to just see us as one.

It has with the mindset in the way of thinking "It’s all the same to me, so what if one has smaller lips, or thinner face" they all still look alike" Kind of a "I don’t care to take time the time to get to know you for who you are..It`s easier to lump you all together mentality"

I mean. Everyone knows that even real twins, though they look alike, still look different no matter which ethnic group they belong to.

I think once you get to know different ethnic groups the more you see the difference in the people and their features.

The features can even be similar. Jackie Chan doesn’t have a small nose; Rosamound Kwan doesn’t have shallow eyes. Turbo (from the movie Break dancing) doesn’t have big eyes.

Most features are pretty typical though.
juicyjuicyox
its because they are all petite, they do look pretty similar.
hazzadawg09
not same, but similar. is ur question in regards to east asians? imo, i think its because of the colour of the hair and their hairstyle + complexion. But it varies.
Onigiri Sensei
lol as much as i hate to admit it but
yeah sometimes asian girls look alike, but MOST doesnt just sometimes lol
K.W. Chan
Well, in my school, all the Asian Girls tend to dress the same: tight shirt, tight jeans that are semi low-riding. They all have highlights in their hair and wear some makeup. They all wear the same brand of clothes too. It's like they are all clones.
~♥ Lori ♥~
all asians girls do not look the same. its just like in any ethnicity, there are some people that look the same and some that dont. i admit that sometimes i get asian girls confused >_< lol and im an asian girl! but i think its also easy to think that all white people look the same or all black people look the same when thats not the case..some features may be shared between them but not EVERYONE of a certain race looks the same..
Nyuu
Just frame wise and the regular black hair or short height etc. though those can be changed
adn21
well in my school there is a teacher that he is always confused asian people and say we are twins although we completely different ^^ i think some western people can't recognise the difference between 2 asian people
sillystripes
Fashion is just IN i guess. And people just coincidently ... have the same style and makeup.
Subtle Red
There are similarities in the appearances of asian women. But there are distinct differences in each.
fiveidols
I'm sorry, I know that previous people (asians) have probably told you off. but i have to say that's a stupid question. ok, maybe it's because you REALLY REALLY can't tell the difference... hey, jeans + hair is common... don't you have hair and wear jeans? it's like saying all guys (most) look alike because uh...they have short hair (not all of them, but most) and wear jeans.
Respects
Not at all at least to me, everyone has their differences. Some may look a like, just like with any other races... Other all Asian girls look different to me.
coolMeelly
not really......i don't think asian girls look the same....but according to their face and race maybe they look the same....etc...

china &korea= pretty look similar
japan & korean= look a little bit different but same part they look the same
viet+loas+nepal+thai= look similar
indo+malay+phili=look same...
