I was mistaken for Jack black at a rave in December… I have a beard and am overweight. That’s all it took. And drugs. I’m assuming and drugs…
Oh hey look it’s the genocide supporter Sarah Silverman
Me: “who are any of these people?”
Why do you put “Me”? Who else is using your account? They should identify themselves.
The other me, duh
Same here, I don’t watch TV so I’m clueless.
I do know who Sarah is, my favorite role of hers was in The Way of the Gun and she gets decked.
Eh, it took me years to tell Claire Danes apart from Gwyneth Paltrow and I think there are a couple other actresses that I may also be thinking are Claire or Gwyneth. It isn’t “they don’t recognize different brown people” as much as there are many doppelgangers in the world.
In the '80s it was Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds for me.
Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie but I don’t think the people in the OP look alike.
Ew, a Margot?
You need to get checked for prosopagnosia.
What about Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastaine?
However for white celebrities, it seems to be the exception. For celebrities of colour, it’s a common experience.
I can’t speak to the gamut of white celebrities but I could pick Bryce Dallas Howard’s butt out of any lineup
You shouldn’t pick butts. You’ll get a smelly finger.
I’d much rather have Claire Danes goop scented candle
I still can’t tell Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard apart. I constantly misremember who is in what movie.
Women can be difficult recognize if they share one or two similar features. I blame it on the makeup the wear. Danes and Paltrow are skilled in using makeup and can use it to alter their looks a lot.
I certainly can’t tell most of the Chrises apart.
Kumail literally had a stand up bit when he was much less well known about being called “Kumar” and how he dreams of the day that he is the goto point of reference that racists use to stereotype other brown people and himself. So Kal should proud of that, at least.
Also, I work with a lot of Middle Eastern and Indian people with a wide variety of names. It is weird that these three celebrities talking about being mistaken for each other all have names starting with K, containing an A, and ending with L. Kumail, Kunal, and Kal. Maybe it’s not so much about them being mistaken for each other but switching similar names around, like white guys called Kayden, Brayden, and Layden.
I wonder how good we are at distinguishing those Chris actors compared to distinguishing the actors in the OP.
Haha thanks Wiki, there’s a name:
Speak for yourself!
I did!! :D
I wonderrr how our identification success rates compare
I would get Pratt. The others I would recognize but not know the names lol
It is a running gag my group that I cannot distinguish Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
This is a crazy assumption but Kal seems like a pretty real cat, so I’m kinda confident he was proud
Zio making a racist joke? I’m shocked. \s
I never understood people who can’t tell look-a-likes apart. Sure, some people look very much alike, but it doesn’t take long to pick up on the small details. Only time I was a bit confused was when I started in college and a girl in my class had a twin who was in the class next door, but I didn’t know for the first few days so I had one deja vu experience after the other. Haha. But it didn’t take long before I could tell them apart from a mile away.
Prosopagnosia - face-blindness - is a real thing, that is especially common with autistic folks. Personally I struggle a lot with faces, but I can learn to recognize the faces of people, that I interact often with (still, sometimes I cannot recognize my partner from pictures, for example). Some people cannot learn faces at all.
That being said, in cases like these, it is definitely racism.
yeah I have a hard time telling apart people with similarly shaped faces, but having looked up these 3 actors, they look completely different
Ironically I have the opposite problem, I’m so bad with faces that I worked with two twins and never knew they were twins because their mannerisms were so different
Don’t forget how casually racist the average 'Murican is
These actors barely count as humans to most of them
And disappointingly, Silverman is fine with a slightly different group of brown humans being wiped out
USAians were raised on sterotypes. We dont neccesarily think they are all bad or make people less per se.
But we have also been raised on fear with a nationalism subtext.
And the convolution of the two makes a lot of default bigots without a community showing humans are all just people.
A lot of Americans just live in rural mostly white areas. I’d say most aren’t intentionally maliciously racist, but painfully ignorant.
At first I thought Kal meant both of your accolades like he only had two lol
Why are they still on Twitter?
Are they? Cause this is from 2018, so things might have changed.
Stale AF. Why are they even recycling this racist zionist?
Shit, I owe an apology to Karan Soni, because I was sure it was one of those 3 playing Dopinder until I looked it up.
Dopinder is on the multi-list. Plays the Indian Spider-Man in the Miles Morales animated movies.
The fourth person adds nothing but also tries to make it about them. Weird.
She’s a famous comedian. She possibly knows some or all of them
See also: your comment.
She’s a zionist. That’s how they move.
Agreed. Avoid her stand up routines. She’s completely and utterly insufferable. A huge bigot too, always saying hateful shit while pretending she’s just joking.
And she has a pig nose too.
