HP camera ‘can’t see’ black faces

Deliberate?
A YouTube video suggesting that face recognition cameras installed in HP laptops cannot detect black faces has had over one million views.
The short movie, uploaded earlier this month, features “Black Desi” and his colleague “White Wanda”.
When Wanda, a white woman, is in front of the screen, the camera zooms to her face and moves as she moves.
But when Desi, a black man, does the same, the camera does not respond by tracking him.
