That's not inherently linked to the children being black, it's more linked to Black people being significantly more poor, as a result have way less access to swimming pools or vacations on water bodies, and therefore drown more due to lack of training.

I didn’t say it was inherent in being black, but if you are selling a drowning prevention technology, it’s imperative that it work well for dark-skinned people. As someone with dark skin I can say that the problem of tech products (Automatic red eye reduction, “Facetune” style image tuning, Face recognition login) not working as well for us is very real.
