Funny. That's why I've cut down on the rice. Doesn't help. Just makes me crankier still.

I agree with your comment on being able to distinguish between SAsians and East Asians. It's pretty easy to tell between Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans. A bit harder for Indo China - but you can identify a Cambodian from a group of Vietnamese. It's more subtle but still doable for most Slavic folks, the Dutch, and Germanic/Teutonic folks. In Africa - fairly easy to identify Somalians and Ethiopeans or East Africans from the general Bantu stock. All of this will be moot I hope as we become a more mobile and blend.
