HP Face-Tracking Webcams Don't Recognize Black People

This is awkward. It appears that HP's new webcams, which have facial-tracking software, can't recognize black faces, as evidenced in the above video. HP has responded:
"We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the ca More..mera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.

I wonder if the Microsoft Webcam would be any different? It's strictly a mathematical algorithm, of course, but I'm surprised this didn't come up in testing. It's not so much "racist" as it is a failure to imagine potential problems. I wonder what would happen if you wore glasses with lenses that reflect the light from the monitor? What happens if a light-skinned blond woman with light blue eyes and no eye makeup tried it?

When designing new electronics some assumptions have to be taken, it is part of the design process. Here the assumption seems to be : black people cannot afford HP lol.
