Line up 100 Koreans and 100 Kenyans and I guarantee you I can pick out who is from which country pretty accurately.

No differences? Really?

If you remember I said that any tendencies were vast (i.e. continental) and not consistent (skin colour actually varies in shades within all so called races).

THAT is what I'm saying.
I say there are signifigant differences between Korean and Japanese physicalities. You say there is no genentic difference. Fine. I can see a difference, though. Just like I can see a difference between Kenyans and Koreans.

All three groups look different to me, so either I am crazy, or there is something different.
