Well China is huge. People in Southern and Western China dont look a thing like North Koreans...

There is some overlap between Koreans and Japanese but Japanese also have a lot of people who look semi-Southeast Asian/Polynesian because of Ainu admixture.

Mexicans and Guatemalans are easy to tell apart, imo. Except for the Mayans in southern Mexico, who, obviously, are similar to Guatemala's Mayans.

Romanians and Italians, to some extent.
Bavarians & Swiss Germans
Danes, Swedes, Norwegians.
Dutch and Frisians
Hawaiians and Tahitians
