People Magazine Mistakes Rain for Karl Yune

You’re a jerk! So you don’t think we need a confirmation that white people don’t look alike but you could not pass the all asians don’t look alike game? You’re a dumbie and racist

Wow, someone needs a Xanax. And btw, it’s “dummy”, not “dumbie”. College graduate here, I should know. :)

I didn’t fail the game at all, I actually scored several points above the average (13 out of 18). And FYI, my cousin–who is 1/2 Korean–admits that even she has trouble differentiating between Chinese people and Japanese people sometimes. It doesn’t make you racist, at worst it means you aren’t extremely observant.

I’d love to know what you got on the quiz (if you even took it). My point is that we don’t need you to inform us that not all white people look alike. I have no idea where you live that this information isn’t already universally known.

THIS IS FREAKING HYSTERICAL!!!!

OMG HAHAHA I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING !!!!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

PEOPLE NEED TO GET THEIR SH*T TOGETHER EVEN I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE AND I’M NOT EVEN AGAIN, I WONT BE BUYING NONE OF THEIR MAGAZINES

GO RAIN

SUE PEOPLE MAGS A S S RAIN

So you’re saying it is universally known that asians look alike but not white people? For your information, a lot of places where white people are not the norm, people do confuse them and even get scared of them. i did not take the test because i am not a racist! obviously you did cause you’re a pig!

Well, I’m never buying their magazine again. What idiots. Seriously. They should offer an apology

And for the record, the fact the writer is Asian does not mean he has to be familiar with every performer who is Asian. It shows poor research not racism.

SHAME on YOU, People Magazine. You’d better apoligize to Rain!!!

Just because a person may be Asian, part-Asian, or knows someone who is Asian doesn’t give them a right to be prejudiced and a total jack-ass with stereotypes. NO ONE has a right to be prejudiced and people are basically being hypocritical and obviously disrespectful when they are so despite Jared, apparently being Asian, it really doesn’t matter. Point is, putting up that site is rude and obnoxious.

As for the whole mistake on People’s part, it’s just really stupid. Not all Asians look alike. It’s like with people of any other race, there are those who do seem to resemble a certain race, but aren’t, or seem to resemble other people– these things don’t just happen to Asians and black people. And isn’t it the editor’s job to make sure that everything is in order and that the facts are correct? The brainless moron should’ve done his research on the subject he was covering, as well.

btw, I agree with dsnbnh. There is a little phenomenon called genetic drift where populations who have been historically isolated show less phenotypic variation–resulting in groups of people who don’t have as much genetic variation and thus look very similar. So that’s why it can be a bit harder to differentiate between different nationalities within Asia (Japanese, Chinese, etc.) That’s NOT to say that it’s hard to distinguish between individual Asians–for example of course it’s easy not to mistake Lucy Liu for Gong Li (both beautiful but look nothing alike)…but without knowing beforehand would any of you be able to say exactly where either of their families originally came from? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it doesn’t make you a racist for not knowing for sure.

For pete’s sake, I think it was an honest mistake on People magazine’s part. Obviously when you put the two brothers side to side you can tell them apart, they probably just got the name wrong. People on this site really need to relax and stop trying to label complete strangers racist.

The. Problem. Is.

The. Eyes.

Prominently. SMALL.

Whites do look alike. Try to tell apart a French Canadian from an American, British from a German, Australian from Scottish man, Irish from Russian, Swedish from Norwegian, etc etc… you can’t tell the difference just like with asians, spanish, or africans.
