I lived in Hawaii for awhile. I knew many Asians who were surprised and/or annoyed when non-Asians couldn't identify what kind of Asian ancestry they had. They would get even more upset at Asians who couldn't do it.
My sister-in-law is Korean. She and her family are astonished that we can't all pick out a Korean every time, although my brother is really good at after it all these years.
