What I find baffling as well is how casually people use 'whiteness' as if it was an intellectually valid concept. What does one expect to receive when asking for a picture of a white women ? A Swedish blonde ? Irish red-head ? A French brunette ? A Southern Italian ? A Lebanese ? An Irianian ? A Berber ? A Morrocan ? A Russian ? A Palestinian, A Greek, A Turk, An Arab ? Can anyone tell who of those is white or not and also tell all these people apart ? What is the use of a concept that puts the Irish and the Greek in the same basket but excludes a Lebanese ?

'White' is a term that is so loaded with prejudice and so varied across cultures that i'm not surprised that an AI used internationally would refuse to touch it with a 10 foot pole.
