Yeah, but my partner has face blindness (quite seriously, IRL even more so than on TV) and got dogpiled for mentioning something similar. And I get the annoyance - I am Asian and was frequently been called by the one other Asian person's name at my work, even though I'm fat and she's tiny and we look nothing alike, and the only thing that stopped it was her dying a bright pink stripe in her hair. But face-blindness really is a thing, especially in autistic people.

Thank you for understanding this. <3 I'm one of the anons that's commented below, and I grew up hearing people say the "all [ethnicity] look alike" thing and always felt like I must secretly be an awful person because I couldn't tell anyone apart beyond skintone and hairstyle, and it really honestly wasn't a lack of effort or interest.

...that's exactly what I said it's easier to say it's a specific condition and not try to pre-emptively bring race into it when it doesn't have to be brought in?

"I am faceblind so I have problems when everyone wears the same clothes" sounds way better, and is simpler to understand, than "they look the same to me, I swear I'm not racist, it's nothing to do with race, but!" even when it is genuinely not being caused by racism.

Anon that also replied: From experience, people often assume it's racism anytime you can't tell two (or more) people apart and the people in question in this one instance are not white. I get why OP would be preemptively defensive about it.
