Is it the same for them but for whites?

Im not sure. I believe most people look the same nowadays at first glance. Everyone is so terribly generic that only a handful of people have made a lasting first impression on me just from their image. I'm white myself, but even white people look painfully similar to eachother where I live.

@70,490Same here. Can't tell them apart. The blonde girl with dark wisps and a face full of make-up or the other blonde girl with dark wisps and a face full make-up? Fuck. They even have the same names! Well, a lot of them.
But I found a solution. If a person looks like a clone from a fashion magazine, I just ignore her/him. Works great and I now have a lot of interesting, individual friends.

I don't know, but for me as an American, white people have all different colors of hair, as they're descended from English, Irish, German, and whatnot. All (or at least most) black people have curly black hair, and (almost) all Asians have smooth, strait black hair. This often makes them different to tell apart. I do agree with other anons posting here that everyone always looks the same. Everyone at my school who's a jock has the same military-style buzz cut or some other "popular people" shit. All the cheerleaders and preppy jerks have the same blond hair with "volume" that comes in a can. They all start to look the same after a while. Also it doesn't help when they listen to the same music, wear the same designer clothes, idolize the same celebutards, and think the same thoughts. This applies to people of all colors, races, religions, sexual orientations, and whatever else you can come up with. This also applies to the "emo/scene" kids who all have the same hair covering one of their eyes, as well as the goth kids who all wear the same eyeshadow and bondage pants and linkin park shirts, the "gangstas" who all wear the same tacky-ass bling with their baggy clothes, the hipsters that all wear the same tight black zip-up hoodies, and on and on and on.
Originality can be a good thing sometimes, people.

@70,500Goth kids… In Linkin Park shirts? What kind of goth kids do you know? I've been around a few when I was in school and one girl was very artistic in her choice of dress. Less of the "modern" goth look and more influence from victorian outfits with a bit of punk.

@70,513See, those are original kids. They make their own choices instead of mimicking everyone around them. I'll agree that many goth kids are original people, and I respect them. However, there are always a few who, well… you know… linkin park shirts.

They don't all look the same to you, you just think they do because you have a built in stereotype.
That, and, non-white people don't have hair colour variants to the same extent.
White people are pretty much the most varied in terms of non-specific melanine. blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, ginger hair, and everything in between, other races just have brown through to black.
Nothing wrong with that, but that's the way things are I guess ^^.

the people you can't tell apart are the ones that you don't interact with. You look at the as a group and the all become one person to you since you don't want to pick out differences between them. These are the seeds of racism.
When everyone seems the same to you it means that you're not interacting with anyone. You need to get out more. And please don't buy a gun.

@70,524Are you some kind of troll? Just because you cant tell some random race apart doesnt mean you're a budding racist. We've even stated that we find our own races to look alike. People are just overly generic in appearance today.

After I come back from a long trip in Taiwan, I notice that all white people look alike. Must just be an exposure thing.

That's because you're so blinded after staring at white people all day that your eyes cannot distinguish between the darker tones when you see them.
True story: I once worked as the only white guy in an all black neighborhood at a black family owned restaurant. I would head over to see my parents in their largely white catholic town and find myself constantly feeling isolated. It was only once I got back to the City and relaxed that I realized I had become so desensitized to color I had normalized being surrounded by black skin; in its absence I suddenly felt out of place!
