I don't usually have this problem with black faces, but Asian faces do look very similar to me and it is hard for me to tell them apart. This is science. Teach the black kids that this is science and not personal, and don't validate their thoughts that the white teachers are just being racist and hate all black people. That line of thinking is not going to help black kids in life. I don't see how it could. And teaching black kids to be the angry black stereotype and rage and yell at their teachers is not the answer either. Teaching black kids to have even less respect for authority figures is not the way to go, imo, and can only cause more problems with blacks shunning authority figures and acting out.
I think that the above is appropriate for sociology and psychology courses, but not history classes.
