Telling Chinese and Japanese people apart

The Bruce Lee movies taught us that the Chinese are bunch of hard-hitting muscular people. So I grew up thinking that Chinese are tall and well-built, with enough kung fu skills to kill even an elephant with their bare hands. So in telling the Chinese and Japanese apart, we assumed that the Japanese were soft, thin and short and the Chinese were tough and taller. Why? Because in one of the Bruce Lee movies one actor was called Suzuki, who was thin and weak, always laughing and could hardly fight. Since Suzuki is a Japanese car brand, we concluded that Japanese people were like that. To perfect our theory, our family used to live near a Japanese diplomat in Dar es Salaam who was short and slender.
