There is no teacher.

Funny. A Japanese friend of mine once told me Europeans look all the same to East Asians.

[Laocoon]

Yes of course, Asians have this same impression about Europeans -that we all look alike.

It seems to me that Europeans are more diverse in their phenotypes than East Asians (different hair colors, less paedomorphism...).
But it may be because I have a European point of view, in fact.

Yes you are right, but indeed it is a European point of view. And quite typical at that.

OK Asians don't have as much diversity as us at first sight, yet they can have brown eyes too (quite common in China) and not only black. Not all are "yellow" or dark-skinned. A lot are very fair (and I mean milky, not just "white wheat"). They also vary in stature and corpulence. The faces are not quite the same from an ethnia to another. etc. And still...

I guess hair and eyes colours of Europeans don't change their face that much for a foreign observer. "Long-nose" is "long-nose".

Of course, the Asian's lack of hair and eyes colour variety compared to Europeans must have sharpened their sensitiveness to other physical details that we Europeans don't see.

Eye shape, maybe ?
That's usually how I try to differentiate them, in Asian movies for exemple.

Five shop girls were burnt to death in Lhasa riot,by the CCP 'spies? Why did Hu Jintao have the protest "out of control"?So many Hui and Han killed, to show the "Dalai Lama's cruelty"?So many Hui and Han killed, to show the "Dalai Lama's cruelty"?

The CCP dare not talk with the Dalai Lama,for that will incur attention on the autarchic system!
