What "design of things" end up excluding Black people?
Sorry I'm not sure how to phrase the question in my title. But it's just a general question I've been thinking about, from when I went to a software conference some years ago. One of the talks touched on how an automatic faucet failed to identify and turn on when triggered by people with darker skin tones, and in retrospective it was because the developers (all white) had only tested the motion sensor on white skin.
Another example would be band-aids; it was only a few years ago that darker toned band-aids were widely released. I remember pulse-oximeters being a problem for some as well, during the Covid days.
I sometimes wonder in what other ways things are just a little more difficult for Black people, when a design leaves them out? How do you feel about it?
