Japanese Eyes?

Today while getting a haircut at Salon Esprit, the stylist asked me if I was Japanese. I told him I was Chinese, but from America. Then he said my eyes looked Japanese.

Are there really distinct differences between Asians? I've been asked if I'm Korean and Japanese a lot here. My friend says I look Korean because I have sharper features. Other people say it might be my hairstyle.

I'm considering lying the next time I'm asked just because it's a better explanation as to why I don't speak much Cantonese. I haven't really been scolded about not knowing Cantonese (as Aaron says he's been) yet. It's not my fault!
