Hilarious how that white chick is classified as black. How the heck do they expect any one to guess these correctly?

Apparently race is determined by facial bone structure. That's what I've heard at least.

No Berliner has ever worn, or ever will wear leather pants.

The European nationalities easiest to identify visually are Finns and Russians. For most others, it's a spectrum of possibilities. When I was in Riga one of my idiosyncratic tourist activities was pick out people on the street and guess whether they were Latvian or Russian. Also like guessing a German's regional origins by their accent.

It's all in pursuit of a great and noble truth.

This is extremely old (I remember it from almost a decade ago), but along the same lines as the op.

I got 9 right... how the hell was that guy "Hispanic/Latino?" fucking small pictures. I don't like this game -_-. Then there was this dude with ocean sized glasses that distorted his face so I had to completely guess with him. asdlfjkahskljdfalskdf Ok rant over.

The pictures were shitty, they had half and halfs, and overall, it was a load of crock. Fun though.

Also, since we're on the topic, I read a really interesting study on race recently:

Its pretty dumb that with all of the mixes. Its like expecting you to determine the primary color of green when there is 51% blue and 49% yellow.

17 right, but only because I figured they were trying to cherrypick examples of mixed people that would throw someone just going by looks off, so I guess that's metagaming it or something. Still, you can't tell me that some of the black people in their example are 50% or more, and hispanics can look like any of the groups mentioned, really. The "fullsize" photos from clicking on the images still are extremely small and don't really help.

The competitive nature of TL-ites are causing people to miss the point of the test. The whole point is that its hard.

How can anyone take this seriously with these horrendously low resolution pictures?

16/20, on a few I guessed, they totally put the hardest ones out there.

Yea I got 15 right as well, but again only because I assumed they were going for something tricky.
Way too low resolution for a proper test, however I like the idea, hammers a point across. The idea that we even have these tests and include these statistics in national surveys etc. is terrible though
