Why do Japanese people look the Least Asian?

Question:

Out of all the East Asians (Japanese, Chinese, Korean Vietnamese, etc.) Japanese look the "Least Asian" - I mean they look the most "American". You know, they have large eyes with double eyelids (without surgery) just in general, their faces are a lot more sharper than other Asians. Unlike Chinese and Korean people, who mostly have squinty eyes, round, mushy faces, etc. So why is this? Why do Japanese look the most "white"? Are "100%" Japanese people actually part European or something? It's very curious cause Japan is just right next to Korea and they look different.

Answer:

Not all Japanese look alike, and not all Koreans and Chinese look alike either for that matter. There are some Japanese who don't have a double eyelid, and there are many Asians that don't have "squinty eyes, round, mushy faces". After years of meeting many people, there are some cases where it is now easy to see if a person is Korean or Chinese or Japanese by their face, but some cases where even the Japanese find the differences indistinguishable. Some Japanese have faces more like Han Chinese, others have a mouth more like Inuit. As to how 'white' they look, it really is a matter of opinion. Some do a bit, others clearly don't. If you ask a Cletus from the Oakies, he'd certainly say they don't look caucasian at all.
