Or maybe it's you who should try training a couple of image classification models. I'm sure I've trained far more than most people who are blazé about this.

Why don't you answer the argument instead of trying to convince me it's risky to disagree with the crowd?

The obvious answer is that self-reported race is correlated with many biological traits throughout the body. This is already known. It's no surprise that ML can detect those differences. If somebody's self-identification is abnormal (doesn't know their ancestry, say), then sure, the AI might see through it. Conventional measurements could see through it too.
