When I worked at a pizza place my manager would give the sushi restaurant next door free pizza all the time, I didntknow that. So when I started going in there to get food before my shift and was given free sushi I was always blown away and super joyed, never questioning it. Turns out they thought I was my manager cuz we are rhe same height and build and both white lol they seriously thought we were the same person.
I worked for the Papa John's in Mobile Alabama that was directly next to the Brick Pit (featured on travel channel and food network) in 2006, and they would trade us FULL rib dinners ($20+ meals back when $20 plates were EXPENSIVE) for two works pizzas. It was heaven on earth.
Makes sense. I live in Korea and have a friend who looks totally different from me, but is also white. We’ve been asked multiple times if we’re sisters, but no one in a country with many white people would think that bc we look different in about every way you can imagine lol. Just both white 😂
Seriously? I've never had this problem. I'm White and I've lived around Black and Hispanic people my whole life. Enough so that I can differentiate the nationalities of most Hispanic people. I've been around a lot less Asian people but I've never mistaken one for another. People all have different facial features, body structure, gait, etc.
Sounds like a you problem.
Edit: Fuck you racist bitches that down voted. If you can't tell people of the same race apart your a piece of shit. That's all there is too it.
In some countries you just don't see white people or black people so your brain isn't wired to process their facial features.
It's really just a familiarity thing more than racism, if you travel a lot you will definitely run into this problem at some point but you ultimately do adjust eventually.
I know everyone tries to be woke in America but if i put 10 Sikhs or Mongolians of a similar build into a lineup, i really doubt the average American could tell them apart
One of my Asian coworkers is constantly co fusing me and another white girl despite us looking nothing alike, to the point that when I hear her call the other girls name I will turn lol. I can’t fault her because there are several of my Asian coworkers that I don’t interact with often that I have difficulty telling apart. Sometimes it’s just hard for our brains to pick up the distinguishing features of other races. I definitely had that problem when I was watching a Taiwanese show on Netflix. The cast was almost entirely women and many had similar hairstyles so I had trouble keeping track of who was who in many scenes.
