Can you recognize South Korean players from each other? Their coach thinks you can't...

The jury is still out there, @sincitymix !

 

2 very different studies:

 

This study supports “the other race effect” using EEG.

This study rejects it, using a test where participants had to answer if they had seen a face before, and being marked on accuracy.

SouthKoreans are generally taller, because of their diets. They also have great complexions, given their love of cosmetics and exceptional skin care regimens. I’m really looking forward to visiting Japan and South Korea next spring.

I'll go for #10 even if he swapped with #7

I'm sure as Nordic as you're you get a lot of Asian clients too.

Save #1 in the blue for me.

Lol, we are all different. I’d go for #15 or #16!

I don't generally have trouble telling people apart, but what I find happens with people of other races is I can't seem to come up with the words to describe the difference in their appearance in a quantitative manner. So a "have you seen this face" picture test I'd do great on, but "describe the person so someone else can pick him out of a group" would be tough.
