All brown people look the same?

Would you believe that with all of our differences, variations of skin tone, hair textures etc. That there are some persons who still think that all black people look the same?..

Or even all brown people look similar or could be mistaken for the same person?...


One of my "pet peeves" is being made to complete ethnic minority monitoring forms. With all of these categories of Mixed Race persons, Black Carib, Black African, White European… I usually just tick Other. If they want to know more, they would have to take the time to interview me or question me personally.


I can't tell you the amount of times I have heard, this girl looked like you?! 


Only to find that there is nothing similar about me and this female other than skin tone!
