A beauty contest was judged by AI and the robots didn't like dark skin

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

As white, geeky, and as quintessentially British as possible, though he is slowly working on a tan now without turning into a flaming lobster.

It'd be interesting to know if they gave this a test run beforehand and what they came up with. If the results they came up with as a 'solution' weren't very impressive, this project would absolutely be embarrassing for them. Beauty is always going to be in the eye of the beholder, I'd think an algorithm would have a hard time at that. Face symmetry will only get you so far.

He is British. British people aren't white

He is British. British people aren't white

I'm not even sure if I should ask where you came up with that..

[Boiler 43,432]

British is not an ethnicity.

[Rob L 3,811]

That is kinda what I was thinking.

..right...

I betcha there's also fibonacci sequences and/or golden ratios in there. Nice try but epic fail.

Well if Africans aren't black British aren't white. Right ?

Sorry?

He is a white Englishman, NB. Whatever you're trying to get at isn't working.

Sorry, I meant on their part(whoever programmed it), based on the outcome it was an epic fail no matter what they did, which I was just throwing an assumption out there might also have something to do with golden ratios.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Actually, it worked quite well. The assumption/stereotype that all British men are white is as incorrect as the one that all African men are black.

Right, except that I never made that assumption at all. A question was asked and I answered it. There are according to census data 81.9% white British people. Referring to my husband as quintessentially British has nothing to do with the colour of his skin and I never made such assertions that only British people are white. Idris Elba is also quintessentially British as Colin Firth. Straw grasping...

[Boiler 43,432]

Colin Firth is English.

I have no idea what quintessentially British means.

[yuna628 9,528]

That's okay, if you have no idea.

If Colin Firth is English, he is also British. If Idris Elba is English, he is also British as they reside and were born in England or what is colloquially known as Great Britain, or the United Kingdom.

If you are Welsh, you are Welsh. Do you consider yourself British or Welsh or both? Do you consider yourself European? Do you consider yourself a member of the human race on planet Earth?

I assume you are not Native American?

What would quintessentially American be?

I am actually Anglo Welsh, not a VJ option, I have a British Passport, and a Colorado Drivers License.

A poster here routinely tells us that dark skinned people from Africa are not black.

Ergo Caucasian people from Britannia are not white, using that same insane logic
