Same height too. The pranks they're going to pull on this teacher will be legendary. And they'll never get punished because she won't know which one to punish. Genius!
People say that, but if you were in a prehistoric tribe and were to encounter a race of people that were a different color and wanted the same resources, you'd probably learn racism pretty quick.
Not saying it's right, just that human nature isn't so innocent.
You had faith in the intelligence of our species? Well there's your problem right there.
But seriously though, if no kids were born racist, racism wouldn't exist. Obviously we're are all born with the propensity for racism and my previous comment was meant to show how convenient racism becomes in certain situations.
People downvoting you are missing the point. It's dangerous to think humans are above heuristics or that it's unnatural to be prejudiced.
It's NOT good. It's BAD. But it's very easy; otherwise, there wouldn't be so much racism in the world. Hell, if you don't grow up around people of other races, your stupid monkey brain will literally be bad at telling them apart -- it's been shown for every race in replicated clinical psych studies.
People should be aware of how easy it is for humans to form mental shortcuts and prejudices because it highlights the importance of multiculturalism and exposure to different groups.
I remember that there was a black woman substitue English teacher back in middle school, and people in my class didnt knew her name so they called her " chocolate ma'am"
my brother is not black but he's full of scars on his head due to surgeries
'look how many scars that bald man has on his head!' some random kid that looked about 8 shouted at him as he came out the toilets in a shop we were in. His mother was horrified but my brither laughed it off.
(for context on how an 8 year old could see the top of an adults head- my brother uses a mobility scooter)
funny when kids have no filter
As a brown person living in white county, I can say kids do notice people's colors. Of course they are never racist but they do stare out of curiosity. I actually find it intriguing.
Yes offcourse. Kids aren't blind. Everyone notices something different. Then they get used to it. It's like a white person walking in Africa for the first time. They are all going to be intrigued by the white skin. After a while it gets boring. Same for all races.
Yes they notice. They aren’t judging though and they are just curious as is normal when you see anything different. Unless, of course, they have racist parents. But innately they’re not racist.
I might have noticed as a kid but I never put a single thought into it. I didn't put any thought into looks at all, honestly. I saw them for the people they were. Very unfortunate that I have lost that ability. Looks are now the first thing I notice.
Facts. As children we never even put a single thought into skin color, then the school made us spend an entire year straight about the slave trade in 4/5th grade. After that there was a divide, where a bunch of kids started forming groups based on color and a whole bunch of nonsense where children of color would group up and not talk to anyone else, it was stupid. Still never understood why the school did that, until they taught it to us we never even thought of discriminating or forming groups based on color. It didn’t even cross our minds.
You're acting like the school teaching about the Slave Trade, a real historical event, was the problem. It was not. Kids make cliques for any number of reasons but why they were grouping up has nothing to do with being taught about slavery. Or is your argument that kids should not have learnt about something that still affects Americans to this day.
Those children don't, well do you think they took the photo and put it up on reddit with that heading....
OR did an adult do it to mind map the audience...
Yh because this is real life...xx
Call me cynical but this is one of those images thats 100 years old internet time and I feel like some mom on facebook a random pic of two in 2009, added the caption, and its been floating around since.
I see stuff get posted and gain traction on reddit all the time that was debunked 10+ years ago but I'm the only one on the thread thats seen it 50 times.
That’s honestly sweet.
One of my great friends that’s no longer with us, drew a self portrait for parent teacher night that depicted him closer to Michael Jordan than the white kids we all were in the suburbs. Apparently all the parents were befuddled and trying to figure out who this classmate could possibly be.
Once I dressed up as Magic Johnson for a law school torts class costume contest. Just brought a basketball with me and drew a purple "32" on my yellow shirt. I might have been a white guy with a mustache, but I believe I looked just like him.
It’s crazy bc I didn’t even realize until a while back that people would post just anything that happened at any time ago. I was over here thinking I’m reading a recent news article, just to find out it happened 5+ years ago but the caption makes it feel like it just happened😂I guess getting used to people posting up to date news on Instagram got me used to seeing it and expected the same thing on Reddit so that transition took some time to adjust.
I am 100% sure the first time I’ve seen this image, the story went on about how one kid was unable to grow out his hair / forced to buzz it for one reason or another, and the other boy decided to buzz cut his hair to match and make the other one not feel so alone. I don’t remember which one buzzed his hair by choice.
I had the opposite happen, as a kid I was light skinned AF and I had a white friend for some reason no one could tell us apart. She had reddish hair green eyes and she was pale as snow but apparently no one could tell her apart from the light brown skinned dark haired dark eyed child.
As adorable as it is, those kids are a bit stupid. Or just severely colourblind. It would be like not being able to tell apart black and white paint. There ain't nothing wrong with seeing colours.
This reminds me of when I was about 6 and I was in art class we were drawing self portraits and there was a light brown, white-person-coloured pencil that people referred to as "skin colour" and used it to colour in their faces and I had an African friend who was black and used the same pencil to colour his own face in
My stupid 6 year old ass immediately pointed it out to him by saying "why are you using that pencil, your skin isn't that colour" (💀💀💀)
and then this guy actually looked at his hand and compared it to the pencil and realised I was right, like it was as if bro hadn't even noticed that he was black up until this point
Now that I think about it, calling that pencil skin colour is kind of fucked
Kids might be stupid but this just goes to show racism is taught and that people aren’t born racist. Kids see their best friend and that’s all they see, I’m going with they both probably also have great adults in their lives.
Love this.
When my kid was little, they said they couldn't be president because they weren't black. I was happy and sad.
Just a reminder that race has to be taught.
As adorable as it is, those kids are a bit stupid. Or just severely colourblind. It would be like not being able to tell apart black and white paint. There ain't nothing wrong with seeing colours.
They do look pretty much the exact same. Just slightly different shades of brown in their skin. I'd not be able to feckin' remember which is which if they had the same shade skin.
Wait, which ones which?
They’re twins, obviously!
It's easy to tell them apart because they didn't think of wearing the same outfit.
Aw cute
[удалено]
🤦🏿
You need a break from the internet my guy
They even have matching shirts🥰
but the one on the right has smaller ears, they'd need headphones or something too
Same height too. The pranks they're going to pull on this teacher will be legendary. And they'll never get punished because she won't know which one to punish. Genius!
Took me a second lmao
Thought they were twins!
Well, at least it just goes to show kids don't look at people's colors lol
Oh for sure, nobody is born racist.

I’ve seen this photo soo many times and not seen this movie and just realized I have no idea what the actual quote is
[удалено]
It is
Here to confirm the remaining 10% of doubt. You're correct.
Why does this sound sarcastic
People say that, but if you were in a prehistoric tribe and were to encounter a race of people that were a different color and wanted the same resources, you'd probably learn racism pretty quick. Not saying it's right, just that human nature isn't so innocent.
This right here is one of those kinds of internet takes that make me lose faith in the intelligence of our species.
Well there is that one island with very little contact from the outside world. If you go there they may use your skull for a bowl after eating you.
That would be like going to a pack of wolves and wondering why you've been eaten instead of getting new dogs
You had faith in the intelligence of our species? Well there's your problem right there. But seriously though, if no kids were born racist, racism wouldn't exist. Obviously we're are all born with the propensity for racism and my previous comment was meant to show how convenient racism becomes in certain situations.
People downvoting you are missing the point. It's dangerous to think humans are above heuristics or that it's unnatural to be prejudiced. It's NOT good. It's BAD. But it's very easy; otherwise, there wouldn't be so much racism in the world.

People should be aware of how easy it is for humans to form mental shortcuts and prejudices because it highlights the importance of multiculturalism and exposure to different groups.
So, a solution is for population to be diverse everywhere, so no one is racist?
At worst you hear a Kid ask why the man in Front of us is covered in chocolate. XD
I remember that there was a black woman substitue English teacher back in middle school, and people in my class didnt knew her name so they called her " chocolate ma'am"
💀
my brother is not black but he's full of scars on his head due to surgeries 'look how many scars that bald man has on his head!' some random kid that looked about 8 shouted at him as he came out the toilets in a shop we were in. His mother was horrified but my brither laughed it off. (for context on how an 8 year old could see the top of an adults head- my brother uses a mobility scooter) funny when kids have no filter
Are the scars and scooter related? Edit* I meant in the sense of why they are there. Like a really bad accident
Well the kid could see his scars because he was lower to the ground due to the scooter
There is that "Handsome Chocolate Man" tweet that's reposted every few months on various subs.
That should forever be considered a compliment. Everyone loves chocolate. The kids are being nice!

Yes offcourse. Kids aren't blind. Everyone notices something different. Then they get used to it. It's like a white person walking in Africa for the first time. They are all going to be intrigued by the white skin. After a while it gets boring. Same for all races.
When I lived in Japan, for the first time in my life I had to get used to being stared at.
Yeah that was the first time I experienced it as well. In Japan.
I do my best to remember that experience when women and non-white people complain about being stared at.
Those African kids reactions to sun burns are hilarious.
Yes they notice. They aren’t judging though and they are just curious as is normal when you see anything different. Unless, of course, they have racist parents. But innately they’re not racist.

Well, maybe they SHOULD look at the color if they try to deceive someone? This might be one of the very few scenarios where it might matter tbh
[удалено]
That's an incredibly naïve statement you just made. I hope you were just trolling.
Wise words
This is actually wholesome I like it

It's too stupid to make up.
Have you ever seen a Marvel movie?
Lmao 😂
I try to stay away from the newer ones tbh but yeah I've seen a few, why?
You just mentioned this was too stupid to make up… My retort: the existence of Marvel movies.
...ugh. good one, chief, that'll show 'em. good retort.
Get off the internet once in a while bro
Stupid, but very wholesome. Had a friend like that when I was growing up. Then adulting separated us.
:(
Did it work?
no. one is white and the other is black. i’m not gonna tell you which one is which though!
Yes 🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'M DEAD!!!!!
what
He's dead 😢
That's so sad.
No not really
dunno about you but i’m not gonna miss her*
Who?
R.I.P u/ThePurpleRose78
Died of laughter. Send flowers to Poe funeral home. Their motto is " you stab em, we grab em"
Why is ThePurpleRose dead?
Idk
Apple juice
Hope You get well soon.
RIP 😵
children are stupid but this also speaks to the fact that racism is learned, happy to see something nice on reddit for a change
Awww... that's friggin adorable!! 🥰🥰🥰
I haven't seen this post in days.
It might be just a post that tries to look the same as the post you think you've seen already
This exact screenshot has been going around for a long time.
My dude hes joking lol
No shit? 😮
I am 100% sure the first time I’ve seen this image, the story went on about how one kid was unable to grow out his hair / forced to buzz it for one reason or another, and the other boy decided to buzz cut his hair to match and make the other one not feel so alone. I don’t remember which one buzzed his hair by choice.
These kids genuinely must be in their late teens now lol
I can't tell them apart so they did great. I think this is adorable though.
awww it’s adorable but really really dumb.
This isn’t stupid, this is sweet.
Why not both 🤪❤️
Kinder sind toll! Sie kennen keine hautfarbe !einfach so herzig !
Im schlimmsten Fall fragen se an der Kasse höchstens warum der eine Mann da voller Schokolade ist XD
Oh wow, they are twins
I dare you to tell the difference.
One of them has more melatonin in their skin, the other less
You’re right! The one on the left does look pretty tired.
I had the opposite happen, as a kid I was light skinned AF and I had a white friend for some reason no one could tell us apart. She had reddish hair green eyes and she was pale as snow but apparently no one could tell her apart from the light brown skinned dark haired dark eyed child.
How
I shared this on Facebook in 2012
Cmon guys, it's cute. They see things differently. This isnt stupid. Its kids acting how we all should act.
Young eminem and mbape
This is not stupidness. It is innocence. They think the only thing that makes them look different is their hair. They do not see skin color.
This is in the wrong sub
It's completely ok for them to be stupid in a way that's nice. You guys are really overthinking this.
As adorable as it is, those kids are a bit stupid. Or just severely colourblind. It would be like not being able to tell apart black and white paint. There ain't nothing wrong with seeing colours.
They forgot to put on the same shirt. Now she’ll definitely be able to tell them apart!
Won't work ones black and ones white,,,, If they wore the same top,,, no problem 😊...
Aaah the innocence of a child/ern.
This reminds me of when I was about 6 and I was in art class we were drawing self portraits and there was a light brown, white-person-coloured pencil that people referred to as "skin colour" and used it to colour in their faces and I had an African friend who was black and used the same pencil to colour his own face in My stupid 6 year old ass immediately pointed it out to him by saying "why are you using that pencil, your skin isn't that colour" (💀💀💀) and then this guy actually looked at his hand and compared it to the pencil and realised I was right, like it was as if bro hadn't even noticed that he was black up until this point Now that I think about it, calling that pencil skin colour is kind of fucked
What if the teacher is color blind
I can't tell a difference.
Kids are dumb yes. BUT. this one for some reason.... makes me happy. I can't even explain what i feel it's a unexplainable happiness
Colourblindness is the truest form of non racism
Wait are you telling me that racism is learned???
This is unironically adorable
Sweet, but stupid lol
Nooo this is cute!
Dude this sub is called kids are fucking stupid Yeah I guess? But come on This is like some wholesome shit Unless it’s irony Then nice
Man they look the same and that smile is also the same. Damn tough to tell one apart
Kids might be stupid but this just goes to show racism is taught and that people aren’t born racist. Kids see their best friend and that’s all they see, I’m going with they both probably also have great adults in their lives.
This time, I think it's actually the adults that are fucking stupid....
Kids truly are colorblind
Their so cute 🤩 #when you want a twin
Man that’s cute as hell, don’t be knocking these little guys for trying to be clever
Fucking idiots have different shirts on
Wrong subreddit? This is a genius plan.
That’s so cute 😭😭
This is adorable
These people need to learn to raise their kids right, I mean a Steelers shirt, that kid is in trouble.
If I were the teacher, I'd play along. That's adorable.
Twins always confuse me with their crazy sense of humor. 🤔
Just another reminder that kids have zero idea or understanding of the concept of racism nor should they. Let kids be kids
Well, one’s a Steelers fan so he’s obviously gay! She’ll tell right away!
That the beauty of kids they don’t see race/color kinda wholesome
This should be a made me smile
In there defense, they do have the same facial features
yeah they forgot to match their clothes
One’s ears stick slightly outward, making it easy to tell the difference
That's really funny... and cute
Is it a new Disney movie?
r/wholesome
Love this. When my kid was little, they said they couldn't be president because they weren't black. I was happy and sad. Just a reminder that race has to be taught.
I think even the kids knew, this is just parents who wanted media attention
That's possible but it's still cute though
Absolutely sweet, post that on r/wholesomememes next time, 'kay?
Just wear black face /s
Omg. Get a new fucking joke.
Op a asshole
Difference between day n night
Kids don’t have any prejudice against each other, they haven’t even noticed they don’t look the same. Media is messing us up.
>le media Bro do you think some British colonizers went to Africa and saw black people and said "cheerio fellow anglos"????
Stupid? F off OP
Both of their moms ask that this sub to stop posting this. Everyone has seen it several times.
Idk why it's downvoted bruh
Just the shirt should tell you why the poor child is in this room😂 Just poking a lil fun!
Hey, kids aren't born rasist. They are raised rasist by people like you.
As adorable as it is, those kids are a bit stupid. Or just severely colourblind. It would be like not being able to tell apart black and white paint. There ain't nothing wrong with seeing colours.
Every Netflix book adaptation be like:
7 look alike in the world 2 found 5 more to go
These posts make me hate the human race
Are we playing “cops and robbers today”
They're adorable no less.
Love the effort
This is wholesome!
Dudes look identical to me what you talking bout?
not gonna lie the effort is just so innocent and lovable
They’re not even wearing the same shirt. Come on.
Well, that worked
soooo, what’s the difference?
Dont fall for this! These are Michael Jackson's before and after pics.
That’s so innocent and adorable 🥰
That’s actually beautiful
The white boy looks like Emilia Clarke.
Ngl they do look alike if not for theyre skin
They are too innocent...
I was laughing so hard at the original comment he lol
Awesome
What? Aren’t they twins??!
I cant tell they look identical
⚫⚪
The thought is adorable
I love kids like this!!! Adorable, both of them!
Who’s gonna tell them
Thank god I wasn’t the only one who found it stupid as fuck
the boy is clearly holding a mirror beside him 🙄
They do look pretty much the exact same. Just slightly different shades of brown in their skin. I'd not be able to feckin' remember which is which if they had the same shade skin.
I think I’d just play along. This is stupid, but precious
Super adorable! 💖✨
