Do you agree that white teens generally look older than asian teens?

I just notice that in American teen movies, teens can already be considered growm ups if they were living in our country. But when you see an asian film, teens are like kids





Just curious.....

Reply:maybe because westerners are somehow taller than Asian?? i think its the body figure...westerners tend to grow faster than Asian...
Reply:mochasister is right; teens in america play kids 10-12yrs old; adults play teens. in the movie Grease (i know it's old but it makes my point) Stockard Channing who plays Rizo was 30yrs when she made that movie but played a High School Senior.
Reply:Cultural bias but yes.
Reply:This is because a lot of times they hire 30 year olds to play the roles of teenagers! In real life American teens look like kids.
Reply:Hooywood uses adults to play teens in their movies. Thats why they look older. in reality, a teen looks like a teen, no matter what race they are.
Reply:yes, older, prettier, sexier
Reply:Yes. I'm Asian, and when I was 18, my neighbor thought I was 14. He was a great guy, but he was a retiree...so maybe he couldn't see too well?





Of course, this will become a good thing when I'm 35. :)
Reply:why would you ask about movies, movies arent real, go in public and find a 15 year old that looks like hes 30.
Reply:I guess the social "look" of gaining age, or looking more mature in our culture, is facial hair. Obviously the asian culture tends to grow facial hair manys years after our norm of "puberty", so of course even the grown men will look "super-young".
Reply:caucasian girls do tend to look older. I think. It is probabably because they have better skin.
