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.

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.
