CP sometimes snarks that "all you white people look alike", but to me, pretty much... everyone does look alike. Or maybe I should say: everyone looks different, yes, but everyone looks unfamiliar. I just plain can't recall faces, and I sure as hell can't recall them if they're out of context (ie coworker not at work) or it's been more than about a year (ie old classmate).
I have problems like this alot, though not as bad as Prosopagnosia. There are certainly people who do stand out from the crowd, lots of them, but alas, they do not make the majority. Emotional memory sometimes helps, particularly if I have a grudge.
