Serious question though, how do you know that he is not a local? To us (meleis), you guys look the same

In some occasions, but not all. And in most cases, I am not 100% sure if the guy is malay or indon.

So this is why I want to know, how does TS know immediately that the guy is PRC?

Offended? I was asking a simple question, and a valid one.

Except for number 5, I have seen all of them being done by local chinese. To be fair I cant really distinguish number 2 since I dont talk your language.

Face like Jack Ma? That one is a typical face. Female like big mama? Seriously

You see, this is just generalisation. Not all of them are small. You might be right about females having big breast, but so do the malays!

The reason I cant really distinguish indons and meleis is because, well, some of us come from the same descendant. I for one have Jawa blood.

With my limited knowledge, Malaysian Chinese do come from the great land of China, right? So all of sudden there are big differences between the two of you?

Another valid question, can you really distinguish Indians from India and Malaysian Indians?

Itu yg obvious bro. Kalau perempuan yg pakai tudung pelik2, memang dah boleh agak indon. Tapi tak semua macam tu masalahnya.

Aku ada je jumpa geng2 indon pakai baju dengan muka macam melayu. Dan aku ada je jumpa geng2 melayu muka macam indon (diorang ada darah jawa gak rasanya)

Well, that is because normal people cant really differentiate the difference between PRC and other chinese from another countries! Unless it is really obvious, if that is the case.

Lol, local mamak muslim and malay are not that hard to be distinguished. But can you distinguish between local mamak muslim and local indian? I bet my ass you cant, cause they both wear the same clothes and they both speak the same language!

Come on man, the cases that you mentioned, they are like one case out of how many? You might be right the first time but can you be right the whole time? I mean, can you really know a Japanese is a Japanese if he/she cant speak Japanese? How about those Japanese that were raised and born in America? Are you able to tell that he is Japanese (or at least has Japanese blood) when he is speaking fluent English?

My point is, you cant really distinguish people into categories. People are unique. Not all of them are the same. I once saw a dark looking malaysian in a LRT, speaking fluent chinese language! These kind of people, can you 100% say what race/nationality they are? They could be half chinese half indian, half malay half chinese or just malay who went to SJKC.

Same country or not, people can get confused easily. Having Jawa blood, people from various races have recognised me as a chinese.

One time when I came early to a class with my Sabahan friend(he looks exactly like a chinese, but he's half chinese half kadazandusun), the lecturer (she was chinese) thought we both were chinese but on her paper, there was no chinese name.

Another time I took a taxi, the Indian driver thought I was chinese and tuned in to a chinese radio.

When I was at genting, a chinese girl near the bus station approached me in chinese language. When I gave her the look, she quickly spoke in Malay.

So far, malays have never failed to identify me as one of their own.

You see where I am getting?
