Yeah. It kind of is. If we trained as much for black faces as white faces, the algorithms would be better. Moreover, the background contrast for white faces is frequently worse (against backgrounds of white walls).

Is that second part really true, or are you conjecturing? I would have thought that even the whitest people have more of a pinkish hue to their skin.

Doesn't Zoom have a large part of their employee base in China, and their US CEO is a Chinese immigrant? So perhaps you should replace "white" with "Asian"?
