It's not really that hard to distinguish Asians for the most part though, Chinese are really easy to identify they have a very specific 'sh' sound a lot in their language. Japanese are similarly fairly easy to identify because of their language, too, a lot of hard consonants.

Then Korean and Vietnamese have their own distinct sound, too.

Every time I ask if someone is German they get really mad and correct me saying they're Austrian. I still don't really understand the difference between the two. :shrug:

Yeah but sometimes even Asians are capable of speaking an admittedly crude form of pidgin English.

Hitler was Austrian though, and they might even be confused with an Australian, which is arguably worse.
