>Us humans are super good at distinguishing faces.
It would be interesting to test a bunch of midwesterners at their ability to tell Asians apart or to be able to distinguish various Asian ethnicities. My guess is that a lot of the distinguishing features that they look for are altered or missing.

- Helloworldboy 5y agoDo you think that there aren’t large asian populations in the midwest? Do you think the entirety of the midwest consists of rural white populations? Most of the country by landmass consists of rural white communities, not only the midwest. Sounds like you may have some innate bias that you need to sort out yourself
- maweki 5y agoAnd while that is probably true for most of us and gorilla faces, even those midwesterners would easily distinguish an Asian person from a Gorilla. It's true that we're good at recognizing faces (even where there are none), and distinguishing on a basic level (type of animal) but specific faces are mostly cultural.
