Flaming.

Yeah no shit. Falsely accusing someone of racism should also be a form of flaming as well given how emotionally charged the word has become. It's kind of amusing though that I'm apparently racist against my own ethnicity because I can't easily tell the difference between it and another very similar one. That should be more telling than anything else. People are more easily able to identify the faces of their own ethnicity than other ethnicities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect

So if one ethnicity can't reliably identify itself vs another very close ethnicity you can be pretty damn sure they are legitimately extremely similar.

Anyhow, blue and purple are similar however you can reliably differentiate them

Purple and Violet are also similar, but many people have trouble differentiating between them. Similar is a subjective measurement that falls anywhere between vaguely alike and nearly identical.

you were implying they look the same within a reasonable margin of error, which is pretty racist.

I wasn't implying anything. I was outright saying two types of ethnic Germans and ethnic French look so similar that the overwhelming majority of people have no hope of reliably telling them apart based solely on physical appearance. Turns out when two countries share close proximity and have been intermixing for thousands of years they tend to look pretty close.

Sorry, but you're not going to shame me into agreeing with you that sky is actually green just because of your incredibly loose emotionally charged words. You can stamp your feet and scream racism all you want like a petulant social justice warrior, but that doesn't really change the truth of the situation at all. Take a group of random white French and white Germans off the streets, hide any identifying cultural trends (like different clothing styles) and don't let them speak and I bet your guesses would approach random guessing (50/50) as the number of guesses increased.

You guys can get the last word. Everything that's need to be said has been said. I'm not coming back to this topic and I'm pretty sure you're just going to cry and scream racism anyway.

So hop off the tip of Zeus's dick just cause you don't know what French characteristics are supposed to look like, when my mom looks exactly like her, except light skinned.

I saw a French guy wearing a beret and carrying a baguettes. Therefore all French guys wear berets and carry baguettes! If we're going to start using anecdotes I could pretty easily run off and go find a bunch of Frenchmen who look exactly like Hitler's ideal aryan. Come on, man, you're being ridiculous. Many white ethnicities mixed with many black ethnicities can and do come out looking like this girl.
