As a honkey, I can't tell where other white people are from. If there was someone from Germany or Czech or Finland or Ireland walking down the street, I wouldn't have a clue where they were from unless I heard them speak. This is excluding, of course, obvious giveaways like public drunkenness (Irish) or someone with a moustache that's only an inch wide (German).
So my question for a Chinese guy is this: can you tell where other Asian people are from? The Asian people I know seem to be able to tell a Chinese person from a Japanese person from a Korean person on sight.
