Oh Asians
Yes, all asians do look the same.

I'm allowed to say that cause I'm asian.
More importantly, I'm allowed to say that cause it's TRUE!

Seriously, take a look.

They look like they could be the SAME PERSON!
Well... that's cause they are.
Ahahaha! Got'cha

Okay, seriously now, I shit you not this time, look at it:


The second and third dudes from the right look like they could be twins.Okay, someone please tell me, are they twins?

Okay, the picture above actually isn't that bad, cause I can actually see diferences. But I swear, my friend showed me a picture of this Korean singer that she thought was cute, then she showed me a picture of him with some other guys that made up the boy band he was part of, and I COULD NOT figure out which guy it was that she thought was cute. They just all looked way too similar.

Asian sameness isn't something new. It dates back over a century, as proven by a news article in 1885 in the New York Times, entitled, "The Similarity of Chinamen". During the time of this article, I assume, based on information from the article, that there was a statue imposed that restricted the immigration of the Chinese into America.

Anyway, the article reports on how 10 Chinamen gave some federal authorities a bit of trouble when they got off a boat and claimed to have already been living in America. However, the authorities couldn't figure out i
f the chinesemen were telling the truth or not, since the authorities couldn't differentiate between them and their past picture records.

The article goes on about how it is impossible to distinguish between Chinese men. Quoted from the article,

"No appraiser, even if he were selected for his proficiency in distnguishing Chinamen, could possibly tell ten newly smuggled Chinamen from ten Chinamen that had been imported when Chinamen were on the free list."

Then the article says that a Chinaman was taken to court by an American to be complained about. However, the American had to withdraw his complaint because "after positively identifying the offeding Chinaman, the Chinaman identified produced another Chinaman whom the complainant could not distinguish from him."

Honestly, the article is hilarious. funny, funny Americans. funny, funny asians who look the same. =)

Anyway, like said before,Asians all look the same... or at least very similar.
