Is it possible to see what ethnicity/race someone is just by looking at organs.

Do organ texture, colour, shape size etc. differ depending on race? If someone was only to look at a scan or an organ in isolation, would they be able to determine the race of that person?

No. The organs would be the same across races and/or ethnicities. A forensic anthropologist might be able to examine a deceased person’s facial bones and use some measurements to make generalised assumptions about a person’s ethnicity. That’s still a long shot and the best that someone who is highly trained could do is state what a person’s origins *might* have been. That’s at a level only directly beneath the soft tissues of the face.
