Why does that matter?

Because some real life systems are unintentionally racist, provide more precise results for light skinned people.

  • That's not racist. The Wikipedia definition is the belief in the superiority of another [0], which this doesn't fit.

    Has nobody considered that blacks are a minority and therefore there is less data available for training or testing? This might always be the case, simply because there are fewer in America (where Apple designs it's phones).
