“Know what’ll go over great? Just being straight up racist. That’s always funny, gets the crowd going”
When you have these thoughts, I highly suggest you resist them in the future. It’s definitely not gonna down the way you think. You’re not 11 anymore, and the uncomfortable chuckles you might get from them are decidedly not actual mirth.
Edit: two reasons it’s racist. One, mistaking people of another race for each other. Two, and much more important, it is a misogynoir stereotype that black women look like men. In an age of transvestigative douches harassing people at restrooms, maybe we don’t propagate that kind of stuff right now.
Between those two pictures specifically no, but I think her hair is very similar to his in the original meme pics, and I think the angle also showed her face a bit different. But you are correct about these two.
Man I could show you 10 different pictures of both these people at similar angles and you’d still be defending yourself.
They look nothing alike. What you’re experiencing is the ‘other race effect’. It is not racist, it’s a psychological phenomenon - one you should be aware of instead of trying to act like you didn’t just make a mistake. The more you try to defend your mistake, the closer you get to actually being racist.
Honest mistakes happen, but god damn - these four people do not look alike:
I would very much say based on the picture you posted that Keanu and the dude in bottom right look similar, and Momoa and Depp as well. So I’d absolutely say they look alike. In the original pic, I didn’t say that she looked like Denzel, or Chaka khan, or any other black person. Specifically early Michael. I get the other race thing is indeed a natural occurrence. But that’s not what’s behind this. What’s behind this is that that lady looks like early Michael Jackson in the pics provided. If you disagree, that’s your opinion. But it not being a critique of either, just spotting a similarity, it’s so sad how many people on here just want to white knight about this shit to try to prove they aren’t racist while actually proving the opposite since they can’t possibly fathom that two people of the same race look similar.

Oh yeah, keep digging man
Edit: also no - Jason Momoa and Johnny Depp look nothing alike. Keanu Reeves and Harry Styles look nothing alike. I would sincerely consider seeing someone about your face blindness if you’d like to argue otherwise.

I don’t think you were being racist, however:
They don’t look anything alike. I’d call this ignorance, not racist.
