Guys I believe that our minds doesn't recognise skin colour . 
The notion that skin colour changes who one is is a figment created my oppressive colonists.  ............and red necks
 
Want proof?  How long does it take you to find me in this picture.  It took me ages and I was in it. ( Hint: I'm the only white guy)  
It was in Zambia.

I found you in about 6 or 7 seconds. I'd recognise that face anywhere...

Our minds must recognise different skin colors, they're just colors, right? 
The fact that some people think that skin color changes who someone is has nothing to do with how our minds recognise skin color. 
That's what I think anyway.

Maybe it's because you're tucked away rather than invisibility due to Zambians.

Not really it's not like your very prominent in the picture. I also took about 8-10 seconds.

Less than two, you're possibly just blind, but that shaft of light doesn't help. In regards to you race point, well we are hard wired to recognise different races. For example researchers asked a group of African tribes-people if two men were the same race, they said they were, one was white, the other was Japanese. The Africans showed the researchers different races in their area, and the researchers couldn't tell the difference.

Well instead of making a topic that alludes to racism, how about you actually tell us about your trip to Zambia =/

 This. You're at the near-centre of the photo, so it wasn't hard.

Something like 10 seconds...
Maybe cause I'm mixed race? Growing up with different colored parents is bound to affect something. 
Also, this because I can.

More than 5 but less than 10, I think. Let's call it 7. 
 
As for what you were saying, it's not true; it would be nice if it was true, but it's not true. We can recognize differences in facial features, skin color, and body type just like we can tell most things apart. In addition, the mind tends to be naturally biased towards its own race. Not to say that it's always true or that you can't train yourself to ignore silly things like race, because you certainly can, but people are born with the ability to distinguish, as well as to discriminate unfortunately.
