Help I'm ethnically challenged

No. There's no definitive way to tell. Not even for other Asians.

They may be able to tell from body language, etc...but not from pictures.

There's also some difference in Northern/Southern Asian countries as far as general looks...lighter/darker skin.

But it would be like a person said they could tell the difference between girls from Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

There is a split on usenet for girls from the Philippines and India....that's about it.

I'm an Asianphile, btw.

There is just no mystical exact difference between a Japanese girl and a Chinese girl. Neither would admit it, but that's just the way it goes.

Oh, and yeah I think there are some 'white guys' though small in number can never get enough Asian content.

Due to history various Asian people will not like other asian people. ya know- wars and stuff.

My fiancee' says that many Thai's do not recognize her as a Thai, but some other Asian country. But she is indeed 100% Thai. <shrug>

Koreans are discriminated against in Japan if not outright, then in more subtle ways.

Hmm. Funny story as an aside:

In Japan I was in some club and it has a membership newsletter that is mailed out with everyone's contact info.

I get a call on my cell from a girl who just liked my name. <shrug> We met at a cafe near my place. I brought some travel photos as an ice breaker and we spoke about travelling.

I told her the only place I had no desire to go to was Korea.

Well, ya guessed it- she was Korean. Ooops.
