All Blacks Look the alike

[SimonMac]

I came unstuck at clientCo.

There are two black ladies, both of whom I'd been dealing with, and it took me some time to realise they were not the same person. They really do look very alike. I felt a bit better about it once I found out they are sisters!

Sorry to rain on your parade, when those of an African origin say they are "brothers/sisters" its more a fraternal thing not always blood siblings

I was always amazed by a sikh's colleague to identify someone as muslim or place an Indian / Pakistani by rough geography of their home village. She was never able to explain how she did it.

They have different facial clues to origin, unless you are trained in it, they do all look less different to someone of a different race.

Some people see racism in everything. People of other races do tend to look more alike than those of our own but it it's nowt to do with racism, just that our brains absorb the major factors quicker than the lesser ones. Same as you'd notice if someone is very tall before you notice their hair colour.

Says a witness in the PC Blakelock review. Which we all know is a load of bollocks, they all look quite different. Unlike those little chinky fellas.

Not since New Zealand started pretending decent Western Somoans players are really New Zealanders...

Don't worry about it. The Eek Jr twins are intentionally in opposite parts of the school. One has (always) had long hair, the other has short hair and is 3 inches shorter.

1/2 a year in and we still get stories daily of teachers calling them by the other name.

This guy is a kinda psychopath. Really scary!

Who, MF? Oh yeah, we know that.

What's really scary is that it's taken you two years to realise it!

You're forgetting the "to me" part of the statement.

Considering that people can and are used to recognising differences in their own ethnic group it's an honest and not unreasonable statement to make.
