Part of the problem with this logic is what you determine to be POC
Culturally, someone as white skinned as me could have grown up in Mexico in a Latino family with very Latino culture, and they would be a POC in everything but visuals. Meanwhile, my buddy is “Caucasian” and from San Francisco but his skin is dark as hell.
If you look at POC entirely from skin tone, facial shape, and hair, and no other metrics whatsoever, the “westernization” the US has on its citizens, as well as racial intermixing over 100+ years means that people that may very well be POC look white to a computer. So think of what the computer can figure out, I would argue probably 80% of the US is white to a computer, and the remaining 20% is a much smaller sample size so it is understandable that the computer is getting it wrong.
