strange test

[puella]

How about a test for Westerners?
According to the continent where they live, we tell the difference with European, American and Australian, EAA test.

I don't think I can get a good point at that though.

There's no such thing as a "purebred" Japanese, Chinese or Korean. There's been a lot of cultural exchange in that region for the last few thousand years.

Yeah, test with "purebred" would be most appropriate to give people some points. but "purebred" is very rare anyway...

What I said was part joke. I do realize a large portion of cross-cultivating nowadays, but unless there is something to go by... its like saying, "Look at these mixed people and tell me what country they're from." There has to be some standard or else the test is going to be flawed. There were a few half-caucasions in that test, making nationality impossible to tell because, in the truest sense, nationality isn't a phenotype.

It's not "cultural exchange", either... its a mixing of breeds. People, be it white, black, asian... have different distinctions, tending to be determined from their nationality. Because we are a global society now because of our advances in transportation and communication, we are losing those distinctions. This is part of the reason why its harder to tell the difference nowadays.

I think the maker of this test also chose Asians that didn't truly fit into the classic phenotypes of Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese. If the person who made this test is doing it for any sort of research, I think his methodology would be in question.

See, when I say "cultural exchange," what I mean is "fucking." I was just trying to be polite.

There's politeness and then there's correctness.

 

[Darok]

Well, that's true for Japanese, Korean and most Chinese, yeah. But there are many different peoples in China, some of which are very different from the majority. Of course, there are ethnic minorities in most countries, like the Ainu in Japan, so I guess that doesn't really count.

I had thought the Ainu weren't around in Japan anymore. Hmm... you learn something new everyday.

No, they're still there. Not quite extinct yet.

 

[number18]

I got a 6...

That dude with the fucked up orange bush of hair was like a trick-question tho! We all know that it's the Japanese that are crazy enough to dye their hair orange! Der! (Actually, I heard this from some angry Chinese boy talking about how the Japanese are stupid fucks, raping their women and dying their hair orange. o,o;).

 

[trenchteam]

I got 7!

 

[Miyu]

Yay! I got a 10! But then I know sometimes Asians can't tell what I am. I've been mistaken for Japanese by a Japanese-Sensei and Korean by some Korean women. I'm Chinese, but I guess I just look weird.

 

[Alfonso]

Bad i got 8 only!~!~!
i thought i can diff them easily.

 

[Alfonso]

No, they're still there. Not quite extinct yet.

Ainu lives in northern japan only.
