My comment above wasn't about Mexicans (that's another comment) but about whether describing people with a high-paying job as having a light skin tone is "biased" or a reflection of reality.

Of course as you say, the problem (if there is one) is in the dataset and not in the program. But if we consider this should be corrected after the fact, then at that moment we are sure to introduce an actual bias.

On what basis? Who decides what bias should be applied, and the appropriate amount?
