I call bullshit.
It's physics, not racism. Darker colors absorb more light and reflect less. In a photo the contrast is difficult to bring out with darker subjects.
I know this because I had a black dog and all her pictures came out like crap until she got old and turned salt and pepper.
Some people just have to see racism everywhere. That's too bad because it takes meaning away from real racism.
- Eyas 10y agoI'm pointing out a statistical fact from the article that black people are more hurt by this technology. I'm not arguing for racist intent, but against accepting unfairness towards one group as acceptable. Dynamic range is of a photo is something controllable by humans building this technology. Contrast is a technical limitation and not a physical one. Lookup the articles on how early stage photography couldn't capture darker skin colors. Again, not racism, but related to incomes and advertising, but still had effects that disproportionally helped certain groups and harmed others.
