Of course, I don't think this is to be taken literally, Nordics, Celts and Anglo Saxons are often known to be self deprecating when giving compliments.

    Some Japanese high school students:



    They honestly don't look very distinguishable from Koreans so I really can't fault Europeans for being unable to tell them apart. Most native Japanese and Chinese have the same opinion themselves that East Asians look alike. While Koreans do make the distinction between Chinese, most don't see themselves as different from the Japanese.

    FME, it's often 'racists' with obvious agendas that exaggerate the differences between Japanese and Koreans. And it's important to note that these 'racists' are often not East Asian or White.
    That's mostly South Koreans, and primarily drawing distinctions to Taiwanese and HKers who they've interacted the most up to the last two decades. Ethnic Koreans in NE China are pretty much indistinguishable with the local population.

    Also, Koreans tend to be quite rude and ill mannered just like many Mainland Chinese tourists. They should be the last ones to talk. When I was in Taiwan, the Korean tourists were so loud and obnoxious, no fucking manners at all.

This means that less melanin is not the reason Asians have light skin but rather a separate and unidentified gene/mutation.

    Clearly, East Asians and European light skin comes from different sources because the complexion is completely different. Asians have more of a yellow hue to their skin, while Europeans have a pinkish hue. Completely different. Also, when East Asians are really light skinned, they are almost ivory white.

    I tend to agree that like the Chinese, the Korean older generations and rural populations are extremely rude. However, where the Chinese are rude because of obliviousness and ignorance (a whole generation were uneducated due to the Cultural Revolution), elderly Koreans/peasants also come with arrogance and hostility.

    Usually yes,

    Besides, tanned-skin Ryukyuans living in the southernmost achipelago may have partial Austronesian origins.

    On the other hand, Ainu living in Hokkaido and Sakhalin tend to have a lighter skin.

    Equal imo but Japanese have more dark yellow types. An example, Nobuo Uematsu:
