Lorraine Showing A "random" Black Guy Whilst Interviewing Patrick Robinson

[Lunol]

Did anyone see this this morning? Lorraine was interviewing Patrick Robinson and then showed a clip of strictly come dancing but instead of Patrick Robinson on the clip it was another black guy, obviously a mistake done by the researchers or editors or whover's in charge of that kind of thing.

This iswn't the first time it's happened as i've seen this happen to an American black actor or singer the othe other day.

This no doubt happens to celebrities of all colours but mainly to black people in general.

Have you noticed this?

[Old_Geezer]

Well it's their own fault for all looking the same.

Did you see "Your face says it all" last night ?

[Lunol]

No i missed it, what is the link between the op and your answer?

Can i catch the show online?

[Old_Geezer]

Probably.

Part of it showed how all races have difficulty recognising differences in the faces of other races. I suspect because we get used to our own race and can see (and possibly mentally exaggerate ?) the more subtle differences to tell each other apart: but a different race are, by definition different looking and have similar features to each other, so we can fail to spot the subtle differences that allow someone to tell individuals apart.

Old Geezer if someone can make a mistake like that then they shouldn't be in a position where they could offend or in the worst case scenarion send a wrong person to jail, ie..Police,, Security, CCtv, Jury members, judges etc..

Maybe if we're in the above category we should all have to do a test to see whether you can differentiate faces both similar and different, otherwise according to what i understand from your post, they're brains maybe wired in a different way and they could be a danger.

[Old_Geezer]

Everyone's brain is wired uniquely to them.

Ridiculous!

Next, they'll be confusing Samuel L Jackson with Laurence Fishburne!!!

I think Patrick Robinson handled it very gracefully. He thought on his feet and seamlessly dragged Lorraine out of a massive publicity hole.

She should be seriously grateful it wasn't Samuel L Jackson she was interviewing, he'd have torn somebody a new one!

[Lunol]

Lol. I agree Andy-Hughes. As a pro he just pretended he didn't notice unlike Samuel who as a world known and mega rich actor can afford to use half of his promo time making the entertainment presenter and the channel look half a foot tall.

I want to watch that program Old Geezer was talking about regarding the brains facial recognition in different races.

But back to your replies, makes great viewing.
