As a South Korean who lived in Japan for 3 years and China for 2 years, I don't think this stereotype is accurate. I felt that it was different depending on the person, not the country. However, it was valuable as a video that explained to Westerners the stereotypes that East Asians have about each other.

This is a good topic and thanks for bringing this up! Just one thing to note and remember though; when anybody talks about anything “Chinese” or specifically Han Chinese people minus other ethnic minorities in China, please don’t forget that not all Chinese think, behave, and react the same ways; especially Chinese outside of China. I promise that often times you’ll be surprised or even shocked when you meet us overseas Chinese, because we’re not at all like the typical, stereotypical “Chinese” you might have in mind already; either in physical or the way we dress, the way we talk and treat others, our religiosity, etc. And a lot of us can be more “moraled” (versus that loving money mindset of mainland Chinese) and “cultured” too than actual mainlanders, who have erased a lot of their own original cultures and virtues.

[@etchan68]

I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo, but for some reason, when I went to Osaka or Seoul, people thought I was a local and asked me for directions(I tried hard to explain to an old lady that I can't speak Korean^^;). Also, once in Sea-Tac airport, a Chinese-American staff at a souvenir shop told me she thought I was Chinese(She found out I was Japanese when I spoke to her, haha!). Maybe it's because I have the appearance of the south Osaka area. It is said that lots of people from Baekje(百済), one of the ancient Korean Kingdoms, migrated to that area a long long time ago, and I look like my grandfather who was born there. Anyway, no matter where I go, I find it easy to fit in with the place, it's safe in a way and I think it's interesting😊.

The truth is that most of the time you can’t know for sure. A lot of “appearance” that is used to make these decisions is actually based on make-up, hair and clothing style. I’m of Chinese descent, but often mistaken for Japanese or Korean people who are Japanese or Korean, and most recently, mistaken for hapa by someone from China. My mom’s side of the family was from Northern China many generations ago, so there is that somewhat different look, I guess. Good call on the many different tribes that make-up Chinese people today.

[@wilsons2882]

i do think japanese people have narrower faces and skinny structure and long noses. the majority of it. korean people are more wide and flat at the jaw and round at the forehead. korean people do have that fuller structure and small noses. i do acknowledge japan is mixed. that ainu archetype is also shown in animes as an elderly figure or a big guy figure with all physical and mental characteristic of a big guy but also as a gentle big soft guy. behind the makeup i can see that people look different. besides women looking at men makes sense too. immigration from both sides outsiders and insiders have changed east asia since a long time. the only question is where do we start to identify people as real japanese or japanese. understanding that this identity/essence is true as well as made up as how people make up stereotypes or break stereotypes to bring new stereotypes. stereotypes aren't inherently bad. it can be good as well as bad. it's unclear. its a social construct as well as based on reality. the only thing is what people want and what to do with it. people who were mocked for having wide faces small nose and monolids would now be determined to look the same as they were born to look and choose to stay the same. would that be racist? indigenous people who want to retain their genetic phenotypes to affirm their identity. does this sound racist? black people choosing to love their mocha lips wide hips and dark skin and build? would this be racist? people choosing to love their own identity culture and safeguarding their values and people. does this necessarily mean they hate the other group. is it safe to assume there is the other group that they hate? people and their choices and the finite amount of freedom to choose given the social economic hierarchy some could relate some couldn't relate. the only sane thing is to accept that letting people do their thing and finding your own community and creating safe spaces for all groups could bring harmony among all- master oogway

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

I feel like I can answer the question about Boston & Seattle as I am from Boston and spent my formative years there and then went on to live the majority of my life in Seattle. I think it comes down to two things. The ethnic background/religious background of immigrants to the cities and the amount of sunlight each city gets. Historically you have in Boston two types of people (this is changing) the White Anglo Saxon Protestants that are descendants of the Pilgrims/Puritans & the later influx of Irish and Italian peoples both of whom tend to be Catholic. The former group tends to be more reserved and the latter two are very spirited and passionate. The aggression I think comes from the clashing of the three in staking out their claims of their portions of the town. The Seattle area has a very high number of Scandinavian people who are not at all like Vikings like you might think. Lutheranism has been the majority religion in Scandinavian countries for a very long time. They are very subdued. I would call it an emotional austerity. As for climate, Boston has 200 days of sunlight per year compared to Seattle's 152. Seattle also has less sun per day in the winter because it is far enough north (5.3 degrees {47.6 to 42.3}) that the sun both rises later and sets earlier. That lack of sunlight DOES something to a person. It's incredibly depressing. It's very hard to work up a passionate anger in that kind of environment. The personality of the entire region completely changes in the summer.

@5:15 shoot, I just had an epiphany I relate to Koreans more with the whole country and respect thing. In a way its kinda a crutch, especially to expect respect as a foreigner in America But, as a point of value compare to other Asians, I definately see how it takes more precedence than other things. Very Good points, lay it out!

[@thehanghoul]

As someone who's traveled a bit, and seen people from all over... While I do think there exists some general stereotypes for people (i.e. Koreans/Filipinos like to sing), they are vastly over done, and still don't fully capture just how different people are, even within the same family. I do think some cultures bring out certain sides of people that other cultures do not. For example, I feel Mexicans are outgoing, and I feel more social around them. I think Koreans are outgoing but insular (don't let non-Koreans into their clique), Chinese people are outgoing and fairly open to others, and the Japanese a bit quieter. But no matter how much there is a culture of something, humans base characteristics won't change. Quiet people will always be quiet people, even if they are in a very loud country. They might become louder, but it would take a lot for them to be a loud person. There even was a study of an AI program who tried to classify where an Asian person was from. The program couldn't determine much from base looks, but found overwhelming evidence for clothing and attire. I think this alone shows just how bad humans are at stereotyping, especially when it comes to large populations. Which I think is a bigger problem in western countries, where many people don't really get to see the full experience of being around a large enough group of Asians to really see how that plays out. This of course leads to oddly specific racial stereotyping. At least for Asian men (before the last five years), you were either the nerd, the kung-fu master, or the "small-penis" jokster (a la Ken Jeong style). These are fun to do though! I definitely laugh and enjoy some of the interesting stereotypes people bring up. But honestly, traveling has really made me realize how important it is to just assume every single human being is the exception to some kind of stereotype, and that everyone is far more unique and different than we ever imagined. By opening ourselves up to this possibility only makes us realize just how wild and amazing the human experiene really is.

[@Ezero8]

Yup, it's easy for me to tell apart a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean person just by looking at their face. 9 out of 10 times I'll be correct. It's hard to describe how, it's small facial features mainly.

it's more of their makeup/behavior or the way they dress imo..like japanese women would wear those big ass hats because it's hot af in my country and i can tell that they're japanese without even taking a good look at their faces..

I do think people from Southern China (especially coastal regions) love money way more than the people from inner/northern/western China. Most of the Chinese Americans (especially the 2+ generations), their families were originally from those southern coastal cities. This is more like a stereotype for Southern/ coastal Chinese, not all the other regions. Like you said, the northern Chinese may have more similar stereotypes as Korean.

However, Japanese and Korean women are a bit more difficult to distinguish (perhaps due to surgery and make-up styling?). By contrast, Korean and Chinese men can sometimes be confused, whereas I can always tell identify a Japanese man. I guess this makes sense when looking at the geography of East Asia - that Korean features are kind of a hybrid. If you took Koreans out of the equation and just compared Chinese and Japanese physical traits, the differences are quite drastic.

[@virtualtours3000]

This is like comparing continental Europeans with English and Scottish, the Chinese are not one people, even if the officially stats says 90% of China is Han Chinese, the Han Chinese themselves are also a multicultural group (e.g. The Chaozhou people are so different to the rest of the people living in Guandong, and have their own language which is intelligible to other Cantonese speaking ethnicities)

Koreans aren't actually a single tribe. They're a mix of the altaic tribes of the steppes (lake baikal) and the original peoples of the southeastern area of Asia. The yayoi refer to the group of koreans who migrated to Japan starting around 300 bce. They replaced the jomon culture that was previously in Japan. Japanese are a mix of yayoi (korean) ainu, and pacific islander

If you look at Chinese grass style calligraphy, some of the characters look absolutely like Hiragana. I'm not sure if it's the origin, but definitely something interesting to look at.

[@nubreed1980]

Haha. It’s just the opposite. All the -kata alphabets were made taken parts of kanji characters… hiragana initially was only written by females.

When it comes to foreign borrow words, those you called "college level" words, China borrow heavily from Japan since Japan opened up its border to western influence long before China. Back in the days, when people in China want to travel to a foreign country to learn, Japan was one of the top country to go. Sun Yat-sen spent times in Japan when he was organizing revolutions in China. One example of Japan's influence on Chinese words is that the Chinese words of "communism" is a borrowed word from Japan. In fact, in China's official name PRC, R is for republic, and modern Chinese word for republic is a world orginated in China, but Japan took it to represent the translation of "republic". Later on China borrowed this idea from Japan.

Generally the scientific words were from Japan since the industrialized first, but they were created using existing Chinese words.

The best way to recognize them is their hair. Chinese guys just don't care or don't have a shampoo with their very short hair Korean guys have well groomed hair but it looks all the same among them Japanese guys have various type of hair that we cannot even understand some of them.

[@mackesyjang1073]

i acually from china(east coast line) all my friends have longer hairs than most of koreans do, and you say it's the best way to distinguish them by their unpolished hair, lol, thumbs up to you dude

[@suzeel]

No, I dont think its Chinese people love money, its also the the western part of the world crazy for money. I grew up in a western country, I know how western people are! And remember Chinese people work the hardest in this world be respectful to Chinese people!♥♥♥

"Japanese LOVE work, Koreans LOVE their country, and Chinese LOVE MONEY!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dyinggggg

[@migukin7492]

i disagree. I still think that Koreans tend to worker harder than Japanese.

Japanese people work hard because they love their country. Unlike the Chinese and Koreans, they do not want to emigrate to other countries because they love their country the most.

[@Misto229]

As Chinese, the statement abt Chinese is true. Right now, I am on the land where the birds not shit for money. The money is good to earn here. Also, koreans are more hardworking than japanese in my opinion, japanese are slow on their work (in office) they took their Times since they are gonna go home late anyway 😅 peace

[@AceofDlamonds]

Pretty good takes 👍 China is Very diverse. Koreans are quite homogenous, and Japan is predominantly a mix of a few original populations. Of course in the modern day there is a lot of overlap in the northern China region. I've seen a few distinctly Chinese looking Japanese.

I think you treaded this tricky topic perfectly because I couldn't disagree with anything you guys said. Well done, and quite entertaining. Thank you! BTW, you guys look northern Chinese, so I bet you've been mis-identified as Koreans often.

[@Golfer908]

I think this was touched on a bit, but i think the subtle differences even when we all grow up in America tends to keep Chinese, Japanese and Koreans from marrying each other. On a completely different subject, Korean writing system was made to represent the sound they make when you read them. It's one of the easiest writing system to learn as each "letter" is comprised of two or more to make one sound. ㅇ+ ㅏ = 아, making a sound like "ah"

Where I'm from it very common for east asian to date each other. Extremely common, just got back from chinese and korean wedding not long ago.

That makes it phonetic,

[@karenlin974]

Chinese is extreme case of analog type of language where you literally have to 'draw' it. It's very artistic and beautiful yet inefficient. Korean is another extreme case and completely opposite of Chinese language where its structure is very digital, one of very few 'two dimentional' language in the world where you can construct a letter or a word like building a Lego with different parts. It's very efficient and logical.

I used to date a Taiwanese girl and she one time asked why Koreans don't have their own word for Computer and other Western words. It wasn't just an innocent question, it also had a tinge of "What's wrong with your country or language? Why don't you want to keep your language pure?" My response to her: Because the person who invented the computer called it computer! The person or group who invented the Internet called it "internet" It's our way of showing respect to the inventor who introduced it to us. Words that were introduced to us through the Japanese during the occupation , like the word for Car, got to be ja-dong-cha, but from 1950s onward, inventions of the west kept its original english word. Lastly: There is no pure language, if you think there is, you're ignorant. Obviously she ain't my gf no more hahaha
