I had a mini argument with a Chinese friend over the fact that she said ‘ I think all laowai look the same’

To which I pointed out that some people are black, and some people have orange hair… and apparently that was too much logic for her to handle… and I haven’t heard back from her.

I thought originally that Chinese people just said ‘Laowai all look alike’ because it was a childish retort to some people saying ‘all Asians look alike’

As if it was a ‘I know you are, but what am I?’  kind of thing

But I think there’s many that can’t tell the difference….  and what’s ironic, is that they also can’t tell the difference between Koreans, Japanese and Chinese… I think that’s very funny too.
