I understand that people are bad at telling the difference between two people of another race than their own.* That wasn’t my question. I’ve seen many other cases where the wrong person was pictured in an article about someone. I wondered whether whatever process newspapers use to choose pictures is more likely to result in wrong pictures when the subject is not a white person.
- Eyewitness identification of people not known to the identifier is terrible anyway. I wish it weren't used in criminal trials. People are bad at it, just so bad. Worse for people not of their race, but very bad for people who are of their race too.
