Well, before I started Sorting the persons, I look at each of them, and I look an obvious difference in one of the pictures of the Asian people, I look at their eyes, and i just drag them to the Asian box, and then I choose very fast the black people, and I though how an Hispanic looked like, but I was wrong, well, at the end of the quiz, I ended up with 3 correct American Indian, 2 Asian, 2 black, 1 Hispanic, and 1 white, I though I was correct at first because in the order that I choose the people it looked so correct, but I learned that people can be different in skin color than the other people in the same country, well I think I have a good example, OK, for example "ME" :)
many people (Mexicans and a few white people or black people) when they looked at me they think that I'm white, because my skin color is lighter than other Mexicans, and they start to talk to me in English, but when I told them or ask them, "Are you Blind? just look at my face I'm Mexican you idiot,"(same exact words but in spanish) and they get surprised sometimes is fun, because one time I told the same thing to another Mexican, he answered "Wow, this American speak spanish so perfect" that was the funniest thing I ever heard, but anyway, keep going.
I learned that it doesn't matter the skin color that make us different from other people, or our language, or religion, I think the only thing that makes us different from others is how we identify our selves, I can say that I'm American or a white guy can say that is from England, well it doesn't matter because I know that all white people are immigrants, and I also know that if I look for my ancestors one of them will be from Europe, because also the people who conquered Mexico and Latin America were immigrants. so in that case, we all are immigrants from other place, YAAAY
well that was what I learned,
