Why do all white people look alike?

because some people are afraid to pay attention to a few little details and to get to know people who are a little different than themselves...

What does being white have to do with it?

White (also White people, White race or Whites) is a term used for a certain ethnic group or racial classification of people. Though literally implying light-skinned, "White" has been used in different ways at different times and places. Like other common words for the human ethnicities, its precise definition is somewhat unclear.\n\nA common connotation to the various definitions of "White" is that the term refers to people descended from European and adjacent areas, such as North Africa and the Middle East. Regions and countries that are today predominantly light skinned include all the countries of Europe, the Middle East, North America, parts of South America, Siberia, Australia and New Zealand.\n\nThe most recent United States Census (2000) defined the 'White' race as follows: "The term White refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa." It includes people who indicated their race or races as "White" or wrote in entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Israeli, Syrian, Lebanese, Portuguese, or Polish."\n\nThe term has always had various definitions and interpretations at different times and places. Across the globe, and especially throughout the Western Hemisphere, a person's inclusion or exclusion from the the "White" group has been affected by past or present colloquial, scientific and legal understandings, including definitions based for such purposes as censuses, anti-miscegenation laws, affirmative action, racial quotas. All these, and the groups they involve, are explored throughout the article.\n\nThe need for operational definitions\n\nLike aesthetic terms such as beauty and balance, religious terms such as sin and grace, and political terms such as liberal and conservative, the terms White and Black reflect something important in the minds of those who use them, even if they cannot be defined objectively so that their application can be independently tested. The claim that any specific individual is Black or White cannot be falsified, so the concept can have no scientific value unless some operational definition of how one determines that a person is White is given. In scientific studies, more precise definitions than "White" or "Black" are usually provided. For example, in the large collaborative study of the HapMap which includes Whites and Blacks among four populations being examined, the terms used are "whites of Western and Northern European descent residing in Utah", and "Yoruba people, residing in Ibadan, Nigeria".\n\nThere is no single, universally-accepted, biological trait that allows a yes/no determination of whether a person is White or not. The operational definitions used in scientific work are not "absolute" either, but rather vary in specificity according to the purposes of the study or of the hypotheses being tested, and are chosen partly as a matter of convenience and cost. The operations, for example, could range from how the subject answers questions about himself on a survey, to the response of a light meter held against the skin with a cut-off meter-reading specified, to which of several ancestry-informative markers are present in the genes of the individual. These may, of course, be used alone or in combination.\n\nA problem with the appearance definition alone is that, as routinely demonstrated in college-level cultural-anthropology classes, "racial" appearance is partly in the eye of the beholder. The same individual seen as White by a Cuban can be seen as Black by an American. Furthermore, such perceptions change over time. Appearance alone is not easy to quantify or judge with complete precision, and can, of course, be deceiving.\n\nA problem with the self-identity definition alone is that there are often advantages and privileges among racial categories, so people will sometimes choose one or another

First the nazis said that all Jews look alike, and that the way they look was obvious to anyone who was not a Jew. Then they made the Jews wear the Star of David in order to distinguish them from non-Jews!

It's pattern recognition. We are used to seeing white men sporting more hair than black men. Because naturally kinky hair sits low to the scalp, we have come to recognize people of color that way. We react to seeing big naturals and pompadours, etc. worn by black men because we don't recognize the pattern.\n\nEven notice how "doifferent" Little RIchars, Al Shaprton and James Brown look?

Yes....and white includes too many cultures...but we are all lumped into one...because we have a lighter skin tone than other races.

he he...yeah thats true. But the fact is whites are the most colored of all people on earth i forget what the genetic material is called but whites have the most of them and blacks have the lease. Also if you buy a color wheel that has every color on in excluding white and you spin it quicly...you will see only the color white.

For the same reasons we all have different builds, skin colors, hair types and colors, sizes of our feet and hands, etc. Nature made a choice from the thousands of variables available.\n\nI like to think that penises are much like fingerprints, where no two are exactly alike. Yeah, many are similar, but I think you get what I'm saying.\n\nAccept what you have.

LOL...sorry I was just wondering this the other day. I have no idea but I have noticed that. It looks like they could be brother and sister. I guess they just spent all that time together and kinda take in the others looks, ex: hair, expressions, personalities, weight-gain or loss, facial characteristics. Take my brother for example, him and my step dad look exactly alike...curly hair (looks like a afro sometimes...they are white though that's the funny part!), weight gain (both look like twins when you see them from behind, love handles and all ha ha), it's funny how it happens, kinda scary too!

You've got to be kidding...  eye of the beholder...  if you asked why do all blacks look alike you'd have been ostracized by now.

They're just like other people some of them are bad, but not all of them. I think most of them try to look like the other colored races by tanning themselves, I don't understand why they have to try to look like other people. I think they have tendency to act like things never happened. Other than that, I think most white people are cool. Now don't get me wrong, every race has things that you can pick at, but  you asked about white people so I told you what I thought. Sorry, if I offended anyone.
