Easy:

1) Wider nostrils and noses in general
2) Larger lips in general
3) Kinky dry hair as oppososed to the straighter, more oily hair of caucasians
4) Perma-tan
5) Smaller ears in general

Now these differences have absolutely nothing to do with who someone is, they have everything to do with what they look like. This is what social stereotyping mainly operates on. Now the social aspect comes in when you see differences in black and white american culture which is then associated with the physical differences.

By the way, this is not just a black and white issue, there are physical differnces between almost every race. Example: Can you tell someone is of Irish decent just by looking at them? I can. I even had a Jamaican I worked with guess that I was Scot-Irish and German the day we first met.
