I think so. Only a bit.

Being white is significant in that there are, at least, a dozen threads on IMDb where a white person alleges that two wholly dissimilar black actors look alike. I'm not sure if they really can't tell one black person from another, as in the old racist saying that we "all look alike" or if they are trying to be funny.

There's really nothing racist about one race not being able to easily identify one person of another race, or tell them apart. Studies conducted at many Universities have shown that all races have a difficult time with recognition of people other than their own race. The phrase "They all look alike to me," is quite true for most people. It is also quite difficult for one race to easily identify the subtle facial expressions of another. It's lack of familiarity, not racism.
