0:00 they're like did you get along with among people in fact oh yeah I had to man there's a bunch of them they all look scary that's my will really we have a lot of viewers [Music] welcome back to a highly essential episode of careful boys today we got Mr Sub and Choi all right we got a very important question from a fan his name is David and he wanted to know how do you tell Asians apart physically Colleen go well subin take it away as an outsider who's been around a lot of Asians how were you what was your first time that's ████ I don't

0:51 believe you damn okay what's the most easily identifiable Asian that you think yeah the answer is Filipino no kind of kind of right I mean we're just darker than most Asians right Filipinos are hard to tell I'm 30 so it's easy for me can you believe it I think Koreans have really strong features yes but sometimes you can't tell the difference between Korean and Japanese depending on if how they dress I think you can't tell the difference between anybody we were talking about like physical qualities physical right physical office no because like as a native Asian countries you'll find

1:42 that race that looks like the other one yeah if I go to the Philippines I'll find a person that looks Japanese Korean Thai whatever and you go to China like China you'll find someone that looks Filipino or whatever like every single country has their own Spectrum but there is a look though yeah what's the look all right like they have a look but it's really there is a look but the that's the minority not everyone has that look right I think like some people look like a old school racist Japanese cartoon some of them do yeah and they still wear the circle glasses what the ████ up teeth oh yeah like like I've seen grandpas that look like that like subin looks Korean right to me right from the gecko he's Korean yeah so without knowing his name but if I met him in Japan oh he's Japanese if I met him in Vietnam he's Vietnamese if I met him in Singapore I'm like he's Singapore you know what I mean it's like every there's

2:33 like Korean but but most oh my God like every country spectrum is the whole gamut like if you saw Bart what race what what kind of in that country like you might even I wouldn't know about in the country I would have seen Bard in Asia let's let's limit it then to just Asian Americans and here in California I think in California it's got to be as racist as possible like how how do you tell the 180. how do you tell that somebody's uh Taiwanese that's a that's a tough usually their skin light skin like super light skin stingy stinging they're very concise mouth mouth wide open Aspergers

3:24 barely like a robotic logical no emotions they'll say exactly what they need to say and that's it oh funny okay no I feel like they're very straight to the world do you think Bart Jason Cheney and Jason Chan and all the Taiwanese people we know have a similarity I think is there like a lot okay to me I think a lot of Taiwanese people are very similar to Jason Chen yeah oh like Jason Chen to me and my brain the singer Jason Chen yeah in my brain he represents a Taiwan Taiwan Pride yeah he represents a very strong I feel like you're kind of an anomaly and I feel like Jason Cheney's a little bit but the minute I met him I'm like yeah exactly until until you like talk about their life and the way they look at things you could tell like oh you you're talking but what made you think that the moment

4:14 that you met um light skin big nose oh that's so nice a lot of stingy so like when when I was growing up in San Gabriel I every Chinese person that I met was telling me they were Taiwanese and that I didn't find out until later that some of them just lie wow and they say they're trying and they say they're Taiwanese because they don't want to say they're Mainland Chinese or Shanghai because you're going to judge them because like is it better to be Taiwanese if they told me I wouldn't give a ████ that's their own ████ I think I think that's their own that was the thing that was the thing when I was in high school is that they would go oh no I'm not Chinese I'm Taiwanese that's that's some ████ from their parents or something it's like it's a thing huh yeah dude I think so because it's like why would you feel the need to say that you know but that's also why I had

5:04 trouble telling who was Taiwanese because I'm like are you lying the reason why we didn't say what uh ethnicity we were when we first did YouTube for like the first 10 years or more is because I had a theory that they couldn't tell us apart that's why other Asians the Asians were just trying to claim us like this he's Korean he's whatever but I don't know if we have an actual like look a stereotypical look like we can we can like me and Bart can blend yeah like in a lot of different what are what are some things that people have confused you with with other Asians like everything everything yeah but I I mostly got Vietnamese or Korean because of the accents I did so they thought I was that but I was also bald now I look like a like a like a geisha so it I look

5:55 like my culture right but you look like an uncle from Hawaii how do you okay how do you know someone yeah that's that's what it looks like how can you tell somebody's Vietnamese I think that one's a little harder the chain yeah when they have a Jade Buddha that's a physical yeah that's straight up I think Vietnamese got bigger eyes bigger eyes than most Asians sometimes the hair with the hair the spikiness I think like oh there's a chance your Viet and then I'm usually I'm usually right you know who's the most stereotypical almost racist be it person I've ever seen Kung Lee The Fighter his spinning kicks and all that but he

6:46 also looks like a Filipino Uncle too he loves he looks Filipino to me too yeah it looks like he's in Ewa Beach yeah I would have guessed that he was yeah he looks Filipino or he looks like he could be Filipino Polynesian Chinese mixed with a little bit of Japanese that's right yeah he could if you had a Polynesian tattoo right you could see him at like a ████ luau that's actually why I got tatted it was I want it to be like different yeah but you just look Korean though I know it's like you're like that did nothing I just realized they didn't do ████ I was like damn it I think I think a lot of Korean dudes have really cool like wavy hair it's the hair for me I could tell Koreans by their wavy hairs and then uh I feel like all the Korean dudes I train they all have really big calves not me Korean

7:38 big heads yeah they got they got my shoes [Music] yeah and nice hair is mine's big yeah how do you get wavy hair yeah you got a perm no pearls no Perma no perm but like last natural Mike's song David they got big ass hits yup yeah they do have big foreheads they do they do yeah damn strong hairline with a big old forehead can you guys tell the difference between Filipino and Cambodian when I can yeah they're standing next to each other I can yeah how how what's the difference chembling is way darker okay it's a different kind of dark it's a different kind of dark oh cambodians are like they're meant to like exist in the Sun and in Filipinos are like it's too hot they try not to huh what about Indonesians what if you threw Indonesia do you think that changes

8:29 that's hard too because they were really light-skinned yeah something really like it's they're on either end of the spectrum yeah yeah yeah yeah I feel like Filipino Malaysian Indonesian all the islands right there it's hard for me it's hard to tell unless you see what they're wearing like the facial features and stuff I can't tell some some Thai guys too yeah tiger crazy I think East Asians are way easier to figure out younger Asians right yeah like the jungle Asians the jungle Asians those are harder like the island Asians no it's cool yeah but like the island Asians like the ones that live in islands like they they look a lot more similar than I feel like the way I could tell Koreans apart from Japanese is is their hair they have none they don't have body hair oh yeah yeah oh yeah they're Salamence Japanese dudes

9:20 I feel like are kind of hairy bro yeah yeah these guys got a lot of like yeah like they're like the chimpanzees of Asia like you know the Japanese monkeys that that just looks like old grandpas you know you can't tell the difference between the Japanese monkeys and the hot spring dude there's a picture of three Japanese grandpas like eating ice cream and they look like three chimps it's it's pretty funny is that a famous photo yeah it's like a meme yeah like Japanese Brown scream yeah it's freaking hilarious to me they look like yeah Colleen when you whenever you meet a new Asian person do you have a game in your head where you go I'm gonna guess what kind of Asian they are no but now I do damn dude because I do that all the time I try to figure you out do you do that three I already know you already know yeah I already know and then I go if if it's

10:11 not if it doesn't match I'm like you need to get to me your life has been alive yeah you know what race is really hard to tell yeah yeah yeah I don't even I don't even know what mums were yeah so Sacramento are there moms in Hawaii not really no there's none in Hawaii but I went to Sacramento and then I went to a park they got a ████ ton I think they got a look yeah they're they're shorter and they're stocky like I don't know any tall Hmong people they're like they got a yeah they're like um they're like I would say like average five six five five yes and then they're like they're like sturdy looking they're not fat they're like some of them are but yeah yeah but yeah but you know what I mean right they're not like there's exceptions yeah yeah we just got like wider joints or something yeah they they

11:02 see like facially a lot of Hmong people look to me like they have a hardcore like indigenous look yeah yeah they're stalking like like if you were casting you know like uh like a war ancient war movie they all look like they book it no I agree like I feel like some a lot of Asians you see look more Americanized or look more westernized yeah but they look like they've retained like the right ████ yeah I couldn't tell what they were I was like Vietnamese Chinese they're like did you get along with Hmong people in SEC oh yeah I had to man there's a bunch of them scary too oh ████ that's all I had to that's my will really we have a lot of viewers [Laughter] do you ever like meet a new Asian person and then you guess in your head and when

11:52 they tell you what kind of Asian they are you're surprised yeah Mongolian Mongolian's always really like surprising I've like I think I've met zero Mongolian I don't know I'm at zero I met zero if they look Chinese and they start speaking Russian you're like you're from Kazakhstan that's Kazakhstan oh yeah like those kinds but yeah I don't really know any Mongolians I don't think yeah I've never met mango you met Mongolian yeah one girl I met who was Mongolia and there was a zero percent chance I would have guessed it she has a big head too huh mongolia's got big heads too no you don't have a big head I would never say that oh I wouldn't say that about you your head is totally normal oh dude your head's cool Gilbert's Filipino but he has a big hat he got a Mongolian head yeah I mean yeah no I'm not that's not what I meant he's got a Korean no it's full Filipino yeah he has big eyes for being Filipino

12:43 absolutely dude his sister too they got they got he got he got like the jeans that everybody wants see I don't know like with Gilbert if if there's like a multiple choice like right off the bat I'd be like nope not Cambodia not into like it was just circle Filipino for sure but I don't know what it is but I just look at him like okay it's my original thing though you know what it is for well it's hard it's not physical for me but like his sense of humor when with the first time he opened his mouth and I heard it I was like this guy's Filipino dude you gotta meet his dad his dad Gilbert senior hot ████ the hottest guy the hottest dad he's a handsome man you no he looks one he looks just like Gilbert oh yeah lick on my lips and then two he's he's kind of does he got a booty like Gilbert because Gilbert's ass is pretty juicy Gilbert senior got a ████ donk on him dude um but he's so ████ funny he's he's

13:35 hilarious he's like Gilbert like you understand that's where he gets it okay he opened up for Jared De Guzman telling like a bunch of like what yeah yeah is that opened up for Jared I told a bunch of these jokes and he's so ████ funny how do you tell the singaporeans apart I have no ████ idea usually I wait for to hear them talk as soon as they they talk then you could I aren't they just Chinese yeah the spectrum is crazy Malay to Chinese and it's like the blend look that's part of the reason why I did 23andMe is because my mom she speaks so many different languages and she says like oh our grandma's uh Indonesian or whatever the ████ like I wanted to like get down to the bottom of like what are we really and then it was very underwhelming because we're just like at that point you just don't care yeah well you know what's difficult too in the ocean oh yeah the ocean's difficult because we don't see enough of them that's the

14:25 other thing that's the other part of the equation I like be on the west coast I had a friend in elementary school who brought his dad's hunting knife and got in trouble because he wanted for show and tell because we had to all bring things for show and tell and he's a Laotian boy he busted out his dad's hunting knife and then all the kids were like whoa and then the teacher was like Daddy dad put that away

15:16 people like it's just so cool to see like like centuries catching people are pretty good looking dude centuries of mixing is so cool yeah they're like Russian and Chinese yeah that's a pretty bombastic it's bomb ass that's yeah you mix Asian with anything you get a pretty good look I think yeah I don't know what's uh combination is not so good no I don't know lined up and you have to guess they're raised by their dicks I think that'd be hard suckability you'd probably have to rule that out first that's hard I don't know is it hard you want to look at it hard no no no no just natural just dangling just dangling put all the darts with darts lights with lights I think all of our dicks are dogs yeah I think all of them are Dark yeah because even if we're light-skinned our Dick's pretty dark you ever meet an Asian guy with

16:07 pink nipples there was a top ten um they did a 2023 like survey on Dick sizes between like everyone in the world yes and the the bottom ten for like the shortness are all Asian let's go Nick let's go baby I think Koreans is the last one right they are the smallest ones they are in the they are in that ten the spare the bottom 10. the smallest ones is Thailand really yeah it goes Thai what are you talking about you see the lady and then North Korea which seems like propaganda yeah that seems like are you sure yeah they're just talking ████ I've seen some lady boys

16:57 with big asses me too is the chosen ones but yeah in Thailand you this is um erect links Thailand got 3.7 inches average no way dude 3.7 it was at least here when I left but uh North Korea got 3.8 Cambodia 3.9 Nepal 3.9 why how would North Korea like join this worldwide statistics that's a priority we're sending you into North Korea but you're just gonna look at Dicks yeah the Guinness world of records like yeah I don't know who was in there what in tarnation or did they just like phone a friend and just like

17:47 ask and then me and Mar got four inches Laos got four inches Vietnam for Sri Lanka four inches South Korea 4.3 hey oh no the top is Sudan Sudan Sudanese that makes sense yeah and then Dr Congo that's 7.1 average in because a lot of Sudanese are like six six wait where's America dude that's hitting my cervix for sure they're not in the top ten they're not in the top 10 because there's too many Asian Americans damn we're bringing down the average fudge yeah and then it's Ecuador and then uh

18:37 yeah Republic of the Congo Ghana Nigeria Venezuela Lebanon Colombia Cameroon saw that coming you did whose job is it to acquire the data I know there's a worldwide dick measure yeah I'm sure that they just go on medical records basically probably is that on our chart you guys don't get your dictionary my dick size not on my medical records it's not wait I don't even know should I call my ████ Blue Cross to ask I thought you have to write it in your DMV form yeah I'm like how are they measuring it hard yeah because right when you sign up as an organ donor they go what's the length of your organ they're like oh we won't need that one wait a minute they didn't ask me that does it affect your insurance premium if it's big or small yeah higher chance of STDs everyone's just gonna be nicer to you if it's bigger I think not everyone

19:30 people from uh Myanmar that's a hard one yeah I've only met one person and then they were Chinese so that doesn't even count to like always bring up the fact that like Asians can't always tell Asians apart either like that's all like for sure there's a look but then the spectrum is also so big it's it's hard to be a hundred percent yeah yeah but there's a look for sure right you gotta look for other Clues like Joe said somewhere in there there's the stereotypical guy representative of like each of those things oh yeah for sure I met guys that look like old racist cartoon drawings of Chinese guys and they're Chinese and I started laughing in their face this was in China no here it's a Monterey Park baby

20:23 [Music] laughs
