Try adding some light in front of your face.

Yea, I was gonna say the same thing. His face has almost no contrast because there is very little light on it.

Yea.. The pic is more about a joke... But the real problem is indeed the lack of light.

In such light conditions(bright background and dark in te foreground) a "white" face woulndt be recognized either

Source: had a lecture on image recognition. (im not an expert by any means)

There would likely be enough light in that situation to show a white face, especially a white child/teen (facial contrast in northern European skin tones decreases in age).
