# It is harder to differentiate people of a race foreign to your own
due to perceptual adaptation. 'Black/chinese etc all look the same' is not necessarily racist, they look the same, because the prototype in the brain for other-race people is more generic, meaning they do 'look' the same. If one was to live for a long time in africa, one would adapt to the facial prototype there, making face recognition/differentiation much easier.

I mean, RACIST!
