Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

It's not only growing up with them. We're just better identifying people/animals/things we're familiar with. Horses all look the same if you're not around them regularly. You can distinguish colours, but that's it.

Not comparing people to horses by the way...

    I checked your name to see if you were a contrarian from another thread. You aren't.

    Then, I thought about the name you chose. Did you mean to spell Dessert (the treat after a meal) or was that a misspelling? Then, I considered that regardless of the intent in spelling, your name appears to refer to a war (Desert Storm: USA vs Iraq in the 90s). Even if it's playful (Desserts Storming me, yum!), I dunno. At this point, I don't suspect we align in ideologies. I'll stop analyzing here.
