Political Cartoons

I always say all white people look alike :P Because whilst I am very good at picking where someone is from based on facial features, this doesn't translate into being able to differentiate people very well. The Chinese, Thai and Burmese kids in my class all look very different from the other nationalities, but almost identical to each other. I pretty much rely on haircuts to know who is who, so I don't like people who change their hair :P

I've heard the phoneme thing before, apparently Japanese can't differentiate Rs and Ls.

It's definitely helpful to separate race and ethnicity, thanks for bringing up that distinction.
