That wouldn't make someone a racist. Of course the Australian Aboriginal and blonde Scandinavian are both human, but yet there are many differences between the two, both in appearance and culture. IMO, it's those who bumble on about how they can't see that and hiw they are "colorblind of race," and think everyone is basically the same is far more racist for refusing to acknowledge what is so obvious and rather important to some people.
As racism is apparently what anyone chooses to
attack in someone else, yeah, who knows.
I see many obvious"racial" differences in people.
East Indians in Hong Kong are distinct Westerners
and from Filipinos and Chinese or Africans.
Each groups attitude toward and expectations of the
others are different, and for specific real reasons.
Sometimes we misread someone. It happens.
Not just between races, but within. A guy with ratty
clothes goes in and buys a Mercedes after they
thinking he was a bum. A well dressed fraud gets
away with a scam.
I hope that today's obsession with "race" will get around
to evapourating one of these days. The next person who
tries referring to me as a "person of color" may be the
one who said it once too often.
