Please don't stereotype the populations of China or India as being homogenous. The range of facial features, body types, skin tones, cultures, languages, histories, religions, etc. are extensive in both of these +1 billion population countries. It's like saying Europe (Scots, Italians, Georgians, etc.) or Africa (Moroccans, Congolese, Ethiopians, etc.) aren't diverse.

Japan on the other hand...
