You look a bit like a Chinese.
You look a bit like Chinese.
You look a bit like one of those Chinese.

Hi,
Do all of the above make sense and sound idiomatic? If not, how should I correct them? Thanks.
 
You would have to delete like in the second. If you do that, it is probably the one that works best, though many people might find them a bit uncomfortable for cultural reasons, especially the third, which could easily cause offence- those Chinese could be taken as dismissive and rude.
 
Thanks, Tdol, for the clear and helpful reply
