It's deeper than that. The chemicals used in analog color photography didn't have a dye profile that could capture people of color effectively until the 80s.

Even deeper- Kodak only started putting effort to get the process right in the 70s after customers complained about poor color reproduction[1] in wood grain and chocolate

I suspect it to be deeper than that: The relevant people didn't think it was worth it to invest all that much into developing it.
This can extend beyond the film or image sensor to biasing lighting equipment, defaults, standards, and thresholds.
Looking through the literature you'll see things like, "the design decisions in the NTSC’s test images effectively biased the format toward rendering white people as more lifelike than other races"

I'm mostly familiar with the history in the US. I'm earnestly curious about how other countries accommodated these types of things as they adopted the technologies.
