This is white folks' opportunity to be the "what do whites (your people) think about this" representatives.  That's a rarity. |
I'm pretty constantly mistaken for someone else. Strangers walk up to me and strike up a conversation only to pause when I look stunned. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm overweight, so my face is rounder and my features aren't as pronounced.
I'm horrible with faces and names, but I don't have any trouble telling people apart. Even "identical twins" don't look the same to me. I have an auditory/visual figure-ground perception disorder caused by brain injury, so I've had years of therapy to be able see clarity in patterns.
Asians don't look the same/similar to me, but I'm not able to tell which country a person/person's ancestors hailed from. That's quite a skill.
