I wanted to make this reply a few days ago when the thread was fresh but I got a little busy remodeling my house.
Pictures can be deceiving. One of the women pictured is Snejana Onopka. She's Ukrainian but in the picture I would have guessed French. You can look at her wiki and see a picture of her with no/little makeup un-posed and she looks absolutely nothing like the picture LT posted.
LT, I don't think it''s a bad thing that people can distinguish American from European. I mean, we can instantly distinguish Asians from Caucasians. Hell, Chinese and Japanese can tell each other apart so I'm told. I think I can tell a black person from the Greater Antilles from a black African or an African American slave descendant. It's definitely not fool proof but assuming someone's origin is not racist.
