It's entirely possible that knock on effects of the standards used for designing and calibrating film, color or non, have caused most mass-produced color film for generations to be better at capturing pale skin tones than at capturing dark ones. This article has done a terrible job of making this argument. That alone is not enough reason to dismiss the argument completely, as I find myself itching to do and many of the commenters before me have already done. It's a sad statement on our state of news, or perhaps it has always been that way. I'd love to do a comparison of news article comparing the plight of the negro from the '60s or the debates over slavery from the abolitionist era to the modern race debate. I'm afraid we've not changed at all; That the color of skin is fundamentally divisive, and we won't get past it. In fact, the final line of the article seems to confirm it: "that the tools used to make film [and] the science of it, are not racially neutral". She is blaming the physical laws of nature for being racist. I don't get how we get post-racial if we're expected to change the unchangeable to suit.
