Here are some of ren's so-called "other photos" from the Washington University Korean Student Association website:      The problem with these photos is that you can't be sure that any particular individual is actually a full-blooded Korean. Many of them appear to be Americans of European ancestry or Euro-Asian hybrids. Even the ones who appear "Asian" are not necessarily all Korean. I, for one, have participated in functions of both the Korean Student Assocation and the Japanese Student Association at my university, and I also know many other persons of European ancestry, mixed European and Asian ancestry, or non-Korean or non-Japanese Asian ancestry who participated in the respective groups. As for the individuals in these photos who appear to be full-blooded Asians, about half of them (particularly the females) have the typical short, piggy noses that I was talking about yesterday. This assures me that at least a majority of the participants are of mostly Korean ancestry.  I think ren might be correct that it is not so much a matter of the metrical broadness (width) of the nose, but rather the impression that is created by a short, flattish nose on a broad face. The average Korean person's nose might be metrically "narrower" than the average Japanese person's nose, but the overall appearance of the average Korean person's nose is much more piggy. Maybe "short, small, and flat" is a better description than "broad" in this case. |
