For me it's usually;

1. Dominicans, Cape Verdeans, Afro-Cubans, and Afro-Brasilians
2. Southern Italians, Maltese, Albanians, and Greeks.
3. Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans, northern Sudanese, and southern/upper Egyptians.
4. Delta Egyptians and other North Africans
5. North Africans and Caribbean Latinos (sometimes)
6. US Natives from the southwest (Navajo usually) and Mexicans
7. Spanish and Portuguese (obviously) and sometimes they look similar to British/Irish.
8. All Scandinavians.
9. South American natives and Filipinos/Indonesians/Malaysians.
10. Haitians and West Africans (this one is obvious).
11. Dominicans and some Puerto Ricans

All SSA's are super hard for me to discern.

[EmpokemyMok]

All SSA's are super hard for me to discern.

I can usually distinguish them, or at least pinpoint if they are from north, southern, east, or west Africa.

[Wachearex]

I can usually distinguish them, or at least pinpoint if they are from north, southern, east, or west Africa.

Best I can do is, horners, Khoi-San, rest of SSA's, of course, N africans all get pretty-much lumped together too.

Occasionally I mix up some Egyptians with Horn Africans.


I can ALWAYS (!) tell when someone is West African, though.

[Essefsbyday]

1) Some hispanics with Persians, and northern middle easterners and costal north africans.

2) Kabyle Algerians and french

3) Pretty much all scandinavian countries get lumped together.

4) Greeks and Southern Italians and Sicilians.

5) most western africans I mix up for each other.

6) Central asians and biracial (white and Asian) mixes sometimes.

[SypeKifef]

I also mix up some Central Asians with Latin American mestizos.

4. Delta Egyptians and other North Africans...

Honestly, Moroccans/Sahrawis don't look anything like most delta Egyptians (I won't speak for Algerians/Tunisians). Neither do Mauritanians.

[DarrenBent]

lol, you're of porto stock and 'obviously' mistake with spanish _ you're iberian!

[Impariclainna]

Yes. To really notice any phenotypical differences is splitting hairs.

[freflellalafe]

Balkanians and slavs in general. Also all the different brits look alike to me.

[Doncarlito]

All Levantines and ocassionally turks, kurds, persians.
Certain kind of Latin Americans with Iraqis, Egyptians and the above.
Horn Africans.
North Africans.
All other Africans look like clones of each other to me.
Same for south-east Asians. I can usually tell Mongols and Han Chinese, same with the Japanese apart easily, on the other hand.

I sometimes mistake Scandinavians for each other and are distinguishable from the native Dutch population, although I've confused quite a few too. But they look more "Borealized" on average.

[Inconykic]

Slavic countries, except Yugoslavs and Czechs.

[BodoidearoLew]

puertorican and venezuelan
some puertoricans and canary islanders, andalusians
black puerto ricans and black cubans
mestizo puertoricans and mexicans
triracials and egyptians, north africans

[Fegemiembendy]

Southeast Asians (I can't tell Thai/Pinoys/Malays apart, with Chinese and Japanese it is a bit easier)
Scandinavians
Eastern Europeans

[Misebeita]

1. Dominicans, Cape Verdeans and Pardo Brazilians
2. Southern Europeans.
3. Scottish and Irish
4. Horners and Fulani
5. Tuareg and Fulani (sometimes)
6. Mexicans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Most of the Andes countries.
7. Melanesians and Aborigines.
8. All Scandinavians.
10. Haitians and West Africans.

[Attarderb]

1. Dominicans, Cape Verdeans, Afro-Cubans, and Afro-Brasilians

You also mix these up? Interestingly I rarely mistake any of them for African Americans.

[P1international]

7. Melanesians and Aborigines.

This one is actually very easy.

Melanesians usually have nappy hair, Australian Aborigines have wavy or straight hair. Australian Aborigines also have very different facial features from Melanesians.

Not always, many Melanesians have Curly-Wavy hair and both are occasionally blonde

not to leave out the Asians

11. Turks and Greeks
12. Dark Yemenis and Light Habeshas
13. Chinese and Koreans
14. Koreans and Japanese
15. All Malays
16. Some Cushitic peoples and Southern South Asians
17. Most non-Turk Turkic peoples and Mongolians
18. Arabs and Persians

[bawayTeen]

Few Arabs (Lebanese , Syrians , Tunisians , Algerians , Palestinians etc) are easily mistaken for each other in USA for example , from the experiences I've seen.
