    What you're thinking of is the psychological concept known as the "Cross-Race Effect"

     

    From Wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect

    The cross-race effect (sometimes called cross-race bias, other-race bias or own-race bias) refers to the tendency to more easily recognize members of one's own race. A study was made which examined 271 real court cases. The results from this study showed that witnesses correctly identified 65 % of the defendants which were of the same race as them. On the other hand, 45% of the defendants were identified which belonged to a different race than the witnesses.

    The meanings are quite similar. The main difference is that start is both a noun and a verb. Begin is only a verb, with beginning as its noun version. Another difference - that start can imply causation. ie - Start a fire. Begin doesn't really suggest this

    Definition: firmly decided or determined; resolved: Examples: His family was dead set against the marriage. he is dead set against going to Spain. That's why both parties are dead set on amending it. The medical consensus is dead set against creating heritable genetic alterations. Part of the problem was that her lawyers were dead set against her writing anything that characterized her testimony.
