well...interesting facts, i agree w/ u in some ^_^. but anyway i think those r not only for Vns but Asian in general...American cant distinguish, they think all Asians r the same.

[.:*~Tawny~*:.]

yup these are for Asians in general
funny thing is ....Zhi Xiang's asian and he doesn't know wut Durian is ^_^. It, btw, is Sầu Riêng. Ring a bell?:fi:

May I add something
87. When people see a random Asian on campus, they(white, mexican, black, w/e) might ask :" IS THAT YOUR AUNT" ( or any other relatives)". (this applies to those who live in the U.S. If answer no, i'll assume that's a "NOT YET". This will happen to u at some point in your life. It's either that they are so racist, or that they're clueless in term seing differences in Asians):fi:

Well, when they say Asians, they usually forget that Asia included a lot of types of people. The East Asian (including Vietnamese, although it's southeast) is the yellow skin, and those who came from the south east asia usually have darker skin... or in some case really dark... Then there is the middle east who has lighter skin... I've seen some indian girls, some have dark skin, and some look just like a caucasian.
But all East Asians do look a like sometimes, like people usually think that i'm Japanese instead of Vietnamese (this happens in Taiwan, and still.... ) There is this funny test call "Asian look alike" in this website http://www.alllooksame.com/
you can try it.... note that they ONLY use Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.... see if you can tell them apart... take the test and tell me the result

[^_^wat the pee^_^]

Dang...i did pretty bad right at the first round, it's so hard to recognize them just by pics, even im quite an Asian

[so_cold]
