well, personally, the reason I think ppl think all asians look alike is because they are not familiar to that race.
I would say this is probably be the most correct answer...I'm mixed race, but i grew up in malaysia, and therefore had familiarity with the difference between Whites, Chinese, South-East Asian, Indian and Malay! I could even tell if you were tribal or if you came from the continent...all because I grew up with them...
However, the hardest thing for me was African...Asians are easy for me to tell...Africans generally all looked the same to me. And with some Africans, I couldn't even tell if they were male or not...however, due to the fact that an African married into the family, and I went over there, I learned to tell the difference.
But hey, if you really want help spotting the difference there are generalities of different people groups:
Chinese - Rounder heads, Straighter hair, smaller noses.
(Nothern Chinese - can be as tall or taller than a Westerner)
(Southern Chinese - shorter...and what we're used to)
Japanese/Korean (I'm still struggling) - "western" shaped heads, flowing hair, taller than the average chinese. Longer noses.
Mongolian - Reddish cheeks, more squat than the chinese.
Malay: Browner skin, thinner hair than chinese, wider noses.
(Thai look like a mix between Malay and Chinese)
White Americans - they're VERY difficult to generalise...due to their mixed heritage, but generally, they're more overweight than those in Europe. (like I said - generalities)
Hopefully it helps some...no offence meant!

your generalisations are about as dumb as saying "Black people are all thieves"....
