3. Chinese people look exactly the same

I recognize that, in the United States, people look incredibly different from one another. We have different hair color, different eye color, different body types and different facial structure. When we look at someone of Asian ethnicity we might immediately think, “Wow! They all look so similar!”

What I have learned, though, is that we, foreigners, are looking for the wrong differences. Chinese people see different eye shapes, different hair styles and different shades of skin and hair color. It isn’t that they look the same, it’s that you simply aren’t looking for the ways in which they differ. Once you start really looking, you begin to start really seeing.
