The truth is that they had calibration cards that included a white human subject but it an irrefutable fact that capturing light and dark in the same photograph was a hard problem and the problem went away as they improved the technology rather than because of complaints about racism

@sun i would argue that early photographic film wasn’t racist, it was just humanphobic due to how it was sensitive to more blue light rendering anyone, dark or light in a weird, “hyperreal” way
