You can't. However, making educated guesses is just common sense.

And what would you base you educated guess on?

"And what would you base you educated guess on?"

For the time being, I base it on ethnicity first and foremost. Choice of apparel is a often a factor. Behavior can be a factor. If I can't tell, there's little else I can do. But I make judgments all day long about many people and for various reasons. For instance, someone stole a bike, took it for a joyride, and dumped it across the street from my house a few days ago. I called the cops and they picked it up. If I watch for possible culprits, am I going to be looking for a man in a business suit, or for a bunch of teens walking down the street yelling profanities?
