The one big problem I can see coming from this is that African Americans come in a wide range of shades from "straighten her hair and you'd swear she was a White girl" to "if she wears all black, closes her eyes, and stands in front of that black wall, she'll be perfectly camouflaged." You'd just have to put all of the shades in the Black category, just to be safe...and this is coming from a Black woman who has indeed seen her people in every single shade in the spectrum, I know what I'm talking about. Ethnic skintone categories are a bad idea just because African Americans defeat the entire purpose of the thing.
