I think if you are really tuned in you can pick up a tremendous ammount of insight to a persons mental state and social circumstances in a single glance. Not suer how much race has to do with that. I would certainly say that I can peg a caucasian fairly quickly but have much more troubble with people of color. Probobly because I have lived most of my life in Vermont and have very little experience with diverse cultures.

I'm French, German, English, Norwegian and Chippewa, in descending order.
There's French genes on both my parent's sides, with my paternal grandfather being 100% and maternal grandfather having French-Canadian(and Chippewa).
Paternal grandmother is 100% German, and maternal grandmother is English/Norwegian.
We should have a "Guess the Supertopian Gene Pool" from all our encounters....

I'm a human, you can tell just lookin at me.
We humans have our dark side and have fallen many times in history there's always hope our brighter side will flourish someday when we grow up.

Depends on who it is.
In the US (country of immigrants), there are lots of mixes, but in other countries (many European countries for example), it's pretty easy.

OK, so what sort of serious discussion were you hoping for when you made a totally obvious blanket statement that only a moron would disagree with?
BTW, thinking you can truly know much of anything, that is not totally superficial, about a person with a glance, is just wrong.
I've told the story several times here about the friend of my first wife and mine-- a young, intelligent, good looking, very nice college kid that EVERYONE liked, who happened to be a FVCKING COLD BLOODED MURDERER, for example.

HK, um, NAH.
BUT, I will stop posting in her inane threads that they are inane when she stops posting them, really I will. Promise.
SOMEONE has to take responsibility NOW to make sure that t*r does not grow up to be like Juan de Fuca. That would be a tragedy.
Besides, aren't you stealing Dingbat Milkturd's thunder here?
