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:

I was at the Grand Canyon last weekend and I saw a lady go up to another lady and say "Are you German?" and the other lady responded "Don't you dare call me German, I'm from Holland"

Portugal and Spain are basically interchangeable, as are their languages. The Portuguese and Spanish people are very chill about using either when speaking to them.

True story I once did a voice part for an Icelandic radio play (responding to a casting call for native English speakers to read English dialogue) and the guys in the booth kept wanting me to read this part more and more "Southern" after an initial take with a pretty neutral midwestern accent. From what I could tell from the script it was supposed to be a fairly serious drama so I only Southed it up a little at a time, but they kept demanding more. By the last take I was like affecting this crazy Foghorn Leghorn/Yossemite Sam cartoon character super-drawl.

Anyway that's my post, thanks for reading.

koreans usually have the roundest eyes out of the East Asians
I would say you're kinda right about the squarish face features but korean girls with any amount of money tend to have that surgery'd away

germans are white with robust feautres, and I can't tell them apart from other other white Europeans. so the answer to the OP's question is yes especially after their economy collapsed and everyone got all sensitive

when you realize that all of east asian peoples are just the extraneous remnants of the Chinese empire at various points in its history you will realize that chinaman is not a racist term and actually accurate

french-* anything is the biggest loving troll when you want submissive anything. men women, their goats and sheep probably dominate the gently caress out of english and american sheep. they probably stomp on german sheep's balls with stilettos and use their mouths as ash-trays.

French women usually have really really sharp facial features. Well the attractive ones at least.

Every German I have ever encountered was fat.

Two Australian dudes brawled in my living room once and knocked my thermostat off the wall. So gently caress you Australia/New Zealand/same goddamn country.
