Re:UK passport photo checker shows bias against dark-skinned... by rich_sasha on Thursday October 08, 2020 @04:38AM (#24717163)
Hear hear, this is what racism is, not an algorithm that underperforms in certain situations.

For any algo, I'm sure you'll find features where it underperforms, and since, well, photos are 90% race-determined, of course there will be racial differences.

Bureaucracy doing its best to not deliver what the law says it should is, meanwhile, blatant racism. Just sounds less exciting than a Skynet-style racist operation of white men forcing Asian women to join a different queue at the airport.
