Do Westerners All Look The Same To The Chinese?

Apparently so:
In the West, there's some who think Asians, especially those from China, Japan, and Korea, look pretty much the same. There's even a famous website that challenges you to tell the difference.

But perhaps less-than-honed cross-border facial recognition is a universal problem. It seems in China, Westerners all look the same too. In this clip, a BBC reporter is confused for Michael Phelps. Hilarity ensues.
