Wikipedia: Cross-race effect
The cross-race effect (sometimes called cross-race bias, other-race bias, own-race bias or other-race effect) is the tendency to more easily recognize faces that belong to one’s own racial group. In social psychology, the cross-race effect is described as the “ingroup advantage,” whereas in other fields, the effect can be seen as a specific form of the “ingroup advantage” since it is only applied in interracial or inter-ethnic situations. The cross-race effect is thought to contribute to difficulties in cross-race identification, as well as implicit racial bias.
