You've made the one good point that I've seen in these responses, which is that I think all the pictures were sourced from the US. If black Americans are descended from a relatively narrow geographic region in Africa, that could lead to me underestimating phenotypic variance for black people in general. However, the problem would still exist when the technology is deployed in America.

I know they exist, but we are talking about statistical properties of entire populations, and these people are very rare.

It's not about what I realize - it's about what can be mechanically detected.
