Do HP webcams not recognize black faces?

Let's hope Hewlett-Packard has the PR-crisis book handy. The video above, which is making the rounds online, shows that HP facial-tracking software has a very unfortunate bug: it doesn't seem to track black faces. There's fairly compelling evidence in the video, in which two co-workers—a black male named Desi and a white female named Wanda—show how the camera-tracking feature doesn't work for Desi but operates just fine for Wanda. The worst part, according to Desi, is he bought the laptop for Christmas.
