there'd a good chance facial recognition software just wasn't trained on large amounts of black faces. if training data was overwhelmingly white (likely, it's issues), then it's gonna have trouble with faces of other races. these kinds of problems are honestly fairly common (medical science/research is overwhelmingly biased towards white men, for example, and has caused many problems for POC), and just dismissing these concerns doesn't seem right to me
