"Hmm, she is whiter than I am and since I'm a white person I'll assume she's white." <Wrong! She is black!> | ||

That's what I've heard at least. | ||

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. | ||

Also, since we're on the topic, I read a really interesting study on race recently: http://www.ln.edu.hk/philoso/staff/sesardic/Race.pdf | ||

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. 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 | ||
