    Yeah I think Karl has got it wrong. I think that rather 40-year-old Chinese people look YOUNGER than they are. But then when they get to 50-something, they look like 60. Basically.

    As a 29-year-old who looks 19, I can say we do age well...up to a point. You're probably too young to know this horror yet, but when we turn 55 or so, we will shrink and shrivel and bloat and get bad perms. As I watch my beautiful mum rapidly turn into Mr. Miyagi, I know I'm looking into my future.
    But until then, we have a good 30-40 years of looking young and fresh-faced, so enjoy. :)

    What about the bit where Karl goes to say that all Chinese people look the same but Ricky stops him just in time.

    It's not racist; if anything it's prejudice. People have overused the word racist so much that it's used for anything at this point.

    Was only joking lol. Just reiterating what karl said when someone said they were in there 20s and got mistaken for someone younger.

    This could use the clip of Karl saying Chinese people all look the same in the first XFM series. That might be even more offensive haha.
