Robots cannot be racist, they just follow commands.

Yeah but if the people programming them are racist, then they’re informed by that racism.

Example: Facial recognition cameras that misidentify Black folks all the time (literally happening)

Person detecting systems in selfdriving cars not registering Black folks as people
