I believe the term "Black" in reference to a person when discussing the topic of facial recognition is only used in journalism. There is no "Black" in the facial recognition industry. There really is no identification of ethnicity in facial recognition. It is all just variations of human appearance, in a unbroken spectrum. The natural and ever present population of mixed race people basically destroy any sense of "race" or "ethnicity" within the software. The ONLY time race and ethnicity are included in facial recognition discussions is when some group trains an algorithm with biased data, creating a biased trained algorithm. That is a human failure to understand the problem they trained their data, not grasping the lack of critical data and its impact on the trained model's use. The technology itself operated exactly as designed, it was literally humans not understanding the subtle nature of what they were doing that is the issue.
