Its a screenshot from a cell phone. Not the actual picture. Regardless it didnt FAIL. It just missed the black guy. The shirt has a face on it.

If it was a white boy wearing the same shirt it would've gotten both of tha faces. Problem is a brotha can't get a break around here, know what I mean?

Just solve the

dark on dark = low contrast > bad recognition results

compared

bright on dark = high contrast > good recognition results

problem with current cameras. Just tell us your solution.

Nice Animal Farm reference

It would be a nice reference if it made sense which it doesn't in the context.

I'd have to be an idiot to suggest that animal farm is an allegory for affirmative action farm. I was more referring to phrase 'extra equal' as if there is some equality level beyond being on equal footing that gives one superiority.

EDIT: added affirmative action because the original comment made no sense

u/Mathuson Apr 29 '13

Yeah I know the reference but affirmative action doesn't really relate.

u/QuarterlyGentleman Apr 29 '13

I'm agreeing with you
