    China is too large and too diverse to be considered as a whole, you‘d probably need to divide them into several sub-categories to take account for regional differences.

    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.

    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😊.

    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.

    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.

      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

    You can distinguish them pretty easily if you pay attention to their fashion - especially hair and makeup. The Japanese style tend to still rely heavily on drastic layered shaggy hair (at least for men) with lighter hair colours frequently found. Korean style tend to be less into bright browns like the Japanese, and are more about the perms and giving volume to hair. Not so sure of what the Chinese style is like.

      Chinese uses the same term for computer, 电脑 in simplified Chinese and 電脳 in Japanese shinjitai. A lot of modern vocabulary in Chinese is imported from Japan, because Japan westernized before China in the late 19th and early 20th century, and created the words for western concepts.

    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.

    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.

The country has multiple ethnic groups and diverse phenotypes depending on the region they come from. Many Chinese citizens are also of Korean ethnic background especially close to the North Korean border. But then again the Chinese in the diaspora in the west who complain about ''stereotyping'' should look more close to home because many Han-Chinese racialy stereotype and even have psuedo-racist stigmas and images of people who are non-Chinese and non Asian especially on Weibo and Wechat.

    Physically, Chinese women are definitely distinctive and can be easily discerned. 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.
