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 collage 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.

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.

yeah I have a hard time telling apart people with similarly shaped faces, but having looked up these 3 actors, they look completely different
