How can you tell just by looking at an oriental person if they're Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc?

I'm not sure what you exactly look for but, I seen the black chick from Howard Stern tell them apart. They brought out like 10 orientals and I think she could them all apart.

hmmm, I'm half Japanese. Bet none of those that have met me would guess that.

Here is what I have observed:
Vietnamese tend to have thinner profiles, more bony/skinny faces, darker skin.
Japanese tend to have a more round face, more stocky build, eyes slightly more rounded. Fair complexion skin.
Chinese tend to have smaller eyes, thinner builds, pale skin
Korean tend to have larger faces/heads, stocky builds, little taller than others
Phillipines have dark skin, thin builds, shorter than most.

I have known and been friends with many asians over the years. He reminds me of a friend of mine who is half Korean and half Caucasian. My guess is Korean.

"Hillbilly Korean..." LOL.

FWIW China is a huge country, most of the provinces are larger than Vietnam. So if you have to guess, Chinese is a good guess based on the numbers. But Vietnamese folks and Laotion folks tend to be very short and sometimes dark.

Koreans are typically the tallest, and have pronounced cheekbones. Japanese tend to be pale.

This reminds me of the skit Carlos Mencia did, I can't directly quote it... but it went something like:

If I line up 5 black guys, are you going to look at them and tell what region of Africa their ancestors hail from, based on their melatonin content, cranium structure, the measurement of their nasal opening, and size of their ears? Or are you going to look at them and say "Come on, they're from Brooklyn!"
