The main similarity is the chin, IMO, but other than that, you’re right.
There’s no reason to go strawmanning here. There’s no easy way to describe the demographic group that he means, thus he tried to use qualifiers that would be descriptive, such as “orientals”. “Asians” to most Americans typically means southeast Asians*, and not Indians, or Iranians, or Turks, or Russians. Whining that this is not technically accurate and overlooks large population groups that are also from Asia does not change his intent, and trying to twist his words just makes your position look weak.
If you think he’s wrong, then argue the actual point, not some GD point that Americans are stupid for forgetting there’s more to Asia than China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
*And again that’s still vague, though at least a little better. But it really doesn’t isolate the demographic group very well or provide a good description of the group intended.
Geez, who pissed in your coffee this morning?
So my company Christmas party was last weekend. About 140 attendees. My company skews old. At 41, I’m clearly under the median age, which I would guess is around 50-55 outside of the IT department.
Anyway, our company puts on a pretty big Christmas bash every year. It’s held at a really nice private golf resort, great food in a beautiful setting, wine, door prizes (nice ones) for every guest. And they hire the same DJ every year, a guy who clearly specializes in these sorts of events and knows what his guests want; people-in-their-50s music. YMCA is a big hit, for instance.
Anyway, to my admitted surprise, at some point between “YMCA” and that Grease medley on comes… Gangnam Style.
AND THE PLACE GOES FUCKING INSANE.
Everyone, even the retirees, is up, and they’re all doing the horse dance. People I’d have sworn didn’t even know how to find a video on Youtube were riding imaginary horses. The President of the company, who is a really nice guy but a guy who keeps his dignity about him as befits his position, is doing the horse dance. Some people are trying to do the shuffle part of the dance. They’re singing “Heyyyyyy, sexy lay-dee!” It was bananas. And then the next song comes on and three quarters of the people sit down again.
Song’s a goddamned phenomenon.
Ha! That makes me smile, RickJay!..I have a close relative, a stuffy conservative man of nearly 60, way overweight, who is obsessed with that Youtube video and can bust a ride-the-horse move like no one’s business! We joke if we can get him to dance several times a day it will help him lose some weight…and our morning TV weatherman has danced for our entertainment at least twice, maybe more. 
On Halloween, he showed up in a powder blue suit and had the news anchors dancing with him against a green screen.
I read somewhere (about telling one Asian from another) in an article, they asked a Chinese American woman if other ‘Asians’ all looked the same to other ‘Asians’. She said sort of, but if there was any question, she said you could get a clue from their last name. ‘Park’ - Korean. ‘Chin’ - Chinese. ‘Watanabe’ - Japanese. Which makes sense, if I met a blond man, I would guess by his last name if he was Danish, Polish, or Northern Italian.
That only works if there isn’t intermarriage or adoption.
And she was American. If one live in East Asia I think the differences would become more apparent.
Leaffan wasn’t talking about differentiating the nationality of one guy from another though. he is outright stating that the guys all look alike to him, because the factory settings have too little choices to distinguish one product from another. he seems particularly concerned that there aren’t a greater variety of colours to choose from.
Kim is a bit of a wild card. Koreans sure, but also Vietnamese and even Cambodians. Some others too, I think.
Like the Macarena.
Can we at least agree that all white people look alike?
And we all smell like cheese
And we can’t dance.
We can dance if we want to.
We can leave your friends behind.
'Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to,
A place where they’ll never find.
and we can act like we’re from South Korea
and dance the Gangnam Style
Or jump. Onto a horse. But that’s only white men.
Oh my. I love Billy.
Yeah, the opinions of two out of touch old guys represents the entire right wing party. :rolleyes:
I hope Gangnam Style hits a billion views before the end of the world this Friday. Hell, this was probably the apocalypse the Mayans predicted! If this is our race’s lasting legacy to the cosmos…well, I won’t be that upset
