This appears to be a misinformed statement. Those who make it their business to take pictures of and process images of darker skin subjects, know how to use the technology, cameras, and software for better or optimal results[1][2][3].
The greater issue is about becoming knowledgeable and understanding the different techniques and lighting involved when dealing with lighter or darker subjects. There are those that are too deep into bias or too stubborn to study up on the subject, simply don't care to, or refuse to have different settings for people of different colors.
Unfortunately, it appears some are pushing claims or perpetuating stereotypes, as if it's not possible to solve the issue or that solutions haven't already been in existence (and in use) for the last 35 years (at least). If it would continue to be a problem, it's more a matter that certain jurisdictions and those in charge, care not to solve the issue or do anything about it. They might be quietly fine with mistaken arrests, false imprisonment, misusing AI, or abusing populations of color in general.
