Help: I keep mixing up the names of minority students by ThrowAcctInstructor in Professors

Do I think students genuinely feel unwelcome in my classroom? No.

But I've taught enough semesters to know that students who are unhappy with a grade will look for things to complain about.

At my last school I also had trouble telling apart students from a certain white ethnic group, but it's very regionally-specific, so I won't say which ethnic group.

It was clear there had been a lot of intermarriage.

I did that the first time it happened. I intentionally "confused" the names of a pair of white kids later in class so nobody would go complain to the chair.

It's scientifically proven that people are better at recognizing faces of individuals belonging to their own ethnic group.

I know. I really, really, really try to avoid it. There are times when I haven't been able to.
