This is absolutely, positively not ever going to be used to auto-deny blacks, Arabs, “Asians”, etc. while giving it a “scientific” patina.
There is not, for example, any code in China’s surveillance system that specifically looks for Uyghur features to trigger closer monitoring and control.
Nope. Never gonna happen. This is science, after all, and not racist asshattery designed with Science words.
