Common trait in white people to see black people as older than they are.

That's also a somewhat accurate way to describe the situation. But I think many people regardless of color might have a tendency to view black kids as older if they were raised in the western world.

Plus black kids tend to enter puberty slightly earlier than their white peers which isn't about perception at all.
