There wasn't racial bias. It was a technological limitation. I'm not sure if Vox knows this, but black people have darker skin than white people, and darker colors are harder to contrast. That's not racism! This is just a ridiculous projection of a modern narrative to the past. Racism existed back then, but it wasn't carried out in film technology. That's ludicrous.
Thanks for the whitesplaining. I think the point is that if the film was being created for people of color instead of white people that the film technology would have been developed differently using different tones and contrasts. The idea is that white people had more money to spend on cameras and film so they were the target consumer. The product was developed to showcase their faces and darker faces were left in the shadows because of it.
