"The cross-race effect (sometimes called cross-race bias, other-race bias or own-race bias) refers to the tendency to more easily recognize members of one's own race."
This premise is not well grounded in facts as evidence can show that some people esp. racially unaware, uneducated or desensitized don't fall into this category. To support their claim, they cite a US-only study which can't be sufficient to extrapolate for all humanity as a universal fact since we all know that US society is divided along racial line and it's deeply ingrained into people's minds from childhood.
It's like their caste system and with a highly cultural not scientific element to it.

Color me skeptic about this theory.
