Racism is discrimination based on skin colour, which is literally what this system is doing. It's a pity they didn't question the Home Office more on what they have done since 2019 to fix the bug since they knew existed from launch — e.g. how many times has the algorithm been retrained since then with good passport photos (since the issue still seems unresolved) EDIT: Turns out from the New Scientist article linked that it actually launched in 2016, misread from the BBC one.
