Really?

If somebody tried to sell me a facial recognition system and it matched my face with somebody of the opposite gender and a totally different race, well, I would not buy that system.

We're talking about video/image recognition here, not politics.

The intent of a facial recognition system is to match an individual, surely?

The intent is to match the appearance of their face.
