Did she really just say what I think she said? That "African Americans" should be hired to monitor facial recognition because white people are too racist to tell black people apart? I am offended that she would continue to call us "African American" and not "persons of colour". ;) Does that mean I am disqualified because I am Black Puerto Rican? What about people from Jamaica or an Aborigine from Australia? Please, for this nonsense to stop, we have to stop ignoring the racism and hatred that has plagued the democratic party. Could you imagine the outrage if Trump said anything remotely close to what Tlaib just said?

Oh look! A lowercase "b" - how racist is that?
Yeah, she needs to be canned. She is as racist as a person can be but gets away with it. This is exactly how the whole Demo party thinks. Every little thing is filtered through a "race" lens. :sigh:
Yeah, gotta love how every time a Democrat or a leftie talks about race, someone from the right will accuse them of racism for, gasp! talking about race, no matter what the context might be. :rolleyes:

There is a real problem with facial recognition software misidentifying non-whites.

Lol. I cannot believe I did not capitalize the "B". Shame on me.

Take a look at this:
The Best Algorithms Struggle to Recognize Black Faces Equally
US government tests find even top-performing facial recognition systems misidentify blacks at rates five to 10 times higher than they do whites.
Just imagine the struggle trying to identify a member of a KPop boy band?

How very thoughtful.
I was thinking that this should be the test to determine if someone is qualified to analyze facial recognition. If they cannot immediately differentiate one KPop star from another, they are not qualified.

Yeah but the right can not even talk about race, only the left is "deemed" compassionate enough to even speak the hollowed words. :eek:

Last I checked, Puerto Rico was still part of America and blacks were not native to either Puerto Rico or Jamaica.

There is a real problem with facial recognition software misidentifying non-whites.

Why do you think that is so?

Part of it is that the data used to train the algorithms has historically skewed white - even the development of color photography was tailored towards white skin tones; darker skin tones weren't handled accurately until furniture makers complained that film wasn't accurately representing the brown colors of their wood finishes. But part of it also has to do with lighting and the reduced contrast of darker skin tones.
