It's easy to tell, look:

Chinese:

Korean:

Japanese:

according to psychologists, that means that you pay too much attention to race, you may need some diversity training.

And if I was to say I think that Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese are all the same, then the same psychologists would tell me I need some sensitivity training, lol.

[g_bassi13]

yep, but if you were to say I know they are all different, and I celebrate all of their differences and cultures for what they are, but I cannot determine which is which simply by looking at a picture, then you'd be doing right-o

[avelanch]

That's good to know. Next time I meet an asian person, I'll intentionally get their race wrong. And when they correct me, I'll respond with the prepared relevant greetings and customs.

amidoinitrite?

Jokes aside, I couldn't really see any way that simply being able to identify someone's race could be viewed as racist.

[Guest Gumballthechewy]

I find this thread to be insulting and almost racist.

[g_bassi13]

i don't think they consider it racist, they just think you're TOO focused on race... then again, it's psychologists were talking about, they read way too much into everything.

[avelanch]

I don't see race.

People tell me I'm Indian, and I believe them, because I have 10 cousins that run gas stations.

[Guest Gumballthechewy]

I don't see race.

[avelanch]

My race is Human, what's yours?

[g_bassi13]

not seeing race is the lowest actualization along the race spectrum.... or something like that.

[avelanch]

I see race when being paired along side culture as something to be celebrated. And it's something everyone should feel comfortable with. Simply acknowledging it's existence is not a bad thing.
