Fun fact, white people actually do look the same to rural brown and black people who haven’t seen us much. It’s all down to experience telling similar looking people apart.
The racist part would be if you insist it’s objective reality as opposed to a skill issue, with an undertone of “and therefore they aren’t fully individuals”.
No lie! There’s nothing racist about seeing members of a given race as all looking the same. It all comes down to experience. Fox example, after being around my wife and her friends I can call out a Filipino vs. other Asians, almost flawlessly (in person is much easier of course). Couldn’t do that before.
We were having a garage sale and my wife asked a visitor if she was Filipino. I’m thinking, “Of course she is! It’s not obvious to you?!”
