Asians and something else

I asked my friend the question, "Why do Asian people look so a like?" He explained that Western people distinguish people by their eyes more than anything thing else >and that Eastern people use the entire face to tell others a part. He also added that Eastern people would look at other Westerners and say that they all look so a like. Is this true?

and

What is the true opposite of life? Please don't say death.

we cannot differentiate 1 bulldog from another as easily as well, this is human nature, its generalisation. Its a very natural phenomenon and it happens to everyone.

and what exactly do you mean by the opposite of life? life itself has no definition. The bigger question is, what IS the meaning of life? if you dont even know the meaning, how would you know what it is antonymous to?

Shouldn't this be in like travel and culture?

I just cant stop myself the answer is DEATH.

eternal life?
well maybe your friend is a racist (or maybe the way he explains it does)

It's partially true. A person that is more used to seeing one type of person should be able to differentiate between that one type of person more easily than they can another type. I don't think it applies too much in urban areas where everybody's just everywhere.

The true opposite of (life) is (-life). :l
I don't really have an opinion on this question.

The opposite of life is non-existence. -_-

Also, Asians only look alike because you're RACIST! If you deny it, that only makes you MORE RACIST!!!

Well don't worry too much about it. I have some trouble telling new asians apart until I get to know them and I'm asian myself. Then again that is also kind of true for my ability to distinguish other races also.

Oh yea and the opposite of life.... Find out the equation of life and switch the variables
Ex. the opposite of Life = X(food)+ X(porn)
is life = X/(food + porn)....

That's exactly what I was thinking, you said it before I could damn it.

That cant be true, the existance of non-existance is existance >>; and life =/= existance.

Racist?

Denial means yes >:]

What I'm more concerned about is why Asians from different countries look different. For example, a Japanese person will (supposedly) get offended if you think they look Chinese, and vice versa. I have heard that there are true differences between a person from one Asian country and another, but why?

I mean, I can't look at someone from New York and someone from Texas and tell any difference (if clothes and speech aren't an indicator), and there's a lot more distance from Texas to New York than from China to Japan.

I'm not trying to be racist - I simply don't understand it and would like some sort of explanation.

actually you friend is right with that,a friend of mine studys psychology
and based one the fact the western people don´t see a eastern faces that often they all look like the same to a western person.so the different indicator in which way western people recognise a face he mentioned are true.

but well I think that most of us can tell the difference between eastern faces as we are in contact with this culture somehow


and the opposite of life is faint well for me.

By Asians do you mean East Asian only or the whole Asia? I admit its not easy to see the differences between East Asians, but sometimes there are certain situation you can tell that they are either Japanese or Chinese depending on the way they act or culture I guess...

Hmm opposite of life, no life?

its not being racist, but everyone has to realize that we are still of different races. Japanese and koreans were once chinese, heck, though im chinese, i cant even tell if an east asian is japanese or chinese alot of times, and ive been mistaken for a japanese tons of times too. There are indicators of the differences between the 3 but its not so obivous at times (especially if they are not talking).

It's human nature to generalize things. And that means psychologically generalizing looks as well until you see enough of them to learn to differentiate them. You cant tell the difference between 1 lion with another, an entire pride of 30 lionesses all look like clones to you (minor differences but hard to tell).

Dude, you're over complicating it. If the answer isn't death, it's non-existence.

Non-existence is an idea, so yes, non-existence exists because we believe in non-existence.
