I've never been to NY, but SoCal and NorCal are pretty diverse IMO. Certain parts of Phoenix (AZ) are becoming more and more diverse with the influx of more and more people from California and other some of the other states, but we still have a ways to go.

However it is odd how many people i speak to tell me the USA is one of the most diverse places...though they probably mean boston, nyc, LA, or SF...maybe some places in TX....I've been to nyc and london, and nyc seems more diverse...I have a friend who is a 16th of everything(you know who ya are)...I keep asking her what she is..shes like, 1/2 romanian, 1/16, chinese, irish, indian, malaysian, spanish, etc....and you can tell, she looks amazing. yeah, it’ll be an ever mixed population down the road….everyone will be asian somehow ;) give or take a few hundred years.

For example, it might be difficult to head into Brazil or Malaysia and try to differentiate an individual's ethnicity. And another thing to consider is what exactly determines someone's identity? For example, I have a friend whose parents are from India but he and his sister were born in Hong Kong. So what does that make him, Indian or Chinese? :) I wonder if this is all in vain as judging someone’s identity is becoming more and more difficult as cultures become closer.

I was focusing more on the time it would take for someone's face to return to normal, since fake smiles usually can "rid" themselves of emotion pretty quickly and return to a blank face more quickly, but it looks like I was wrong. :) (<em>real smile BTW</em>) As for AllLookSame, I actually did worse than before with an 8/18. Then again, I have trouble at times differentiating between Hispanics, Arabs, and Indians (from India) and I'm Latino, so it isn't surprising. :) Whoa, I thought that I was decent at spotting a fake smile but I was pretty much hit or miss with a 12/20.
