I think it comes down to exposure in one's every day life. My clients are predominantly black male (which is a whole nother topic) and after having had them in my groups once I don't tend to forget their names or mix them up. But it took me having interactions with them where I was using their names and identifying them by sight as "Mr. ______." Except for brand new clients (or ones who never show up) I only have 2 guys whose names I confuse and it's because they're both tall, thin, have names that start with the same letter and similarly shaped faces. But they don't look alike, my brain just fumbles with the right name for the unique face.

But with another population entirely I don't know that I'd do as "well" without more exposure.
