Its always fascinating to me how American minds rush so quickly to race with any mention of appearance (and indeed often any topic whatsoever), from the outside it seems like a society wide obsession.
Yes, I am American. Certainly I’m rushing to race, but that’s the point I was having trouble with. If I didn’t consider race, then I don’t see how I would have found it so surprising in the first place. Regardless of American’s obsession with race, race is still a simple example of this. Race. :D
Don’t want to be rude, but are you American?

It does from the inside, too. (I wonder if South Africans have a similar tendency?)
