I witnessed a dialogue between a couple of white male college students and a Korean female college student. They were asking her if another Asian student was Korean, Chinese, or Japanese. She giggled, shrugged, and said "I don't know...I can't really tell the difference...oh well."
Is this common or is it possible that this young lady thought it was cute and cool to seemingly distance herself?

Maybe she honestly couldn't tell the difference. Can YOU tell the difference between African-Americans descended from slaves and Afro-Carribeans (and that is just in appearance, not accents)?
