“Great call to action here on getting people of color confused with one another. As a white woman, I venture to say my reasons for getting people of color confused occasionally is 1 . Under exposure and not enough friends in that sub group ( for instance, Phillipino women) So I am unconsciously generalizing, not observing deeply. 2. Fear of stepping on toes, so I don’t ask questions I normally might, such as “ What got you interested in working here? Love that suit. Who’s the designer? What do you like to do for fun? Etc. 3. In a picture that contains only redheads, I can only see a bunch of people that look alike. I’m pretty sure it must be like that for brown folk regarding us…occasionally…so how about we work just as hard at individuating and including as they have to?”
