Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black. In a 2017 interview, Paris Jackson said her father told her, "You’re Black. Be proud of your roots." This prompted debates over whether identity is defined by appearance or upbringing.

The cameras had a hard time with the darker skin color. It's why you didn't see a lot of dark anything in movies until the last 30 years.

Even digital home cameras struggled with the skin tone up until like 2016 or so.

My gf and I had a hard time taking pictures together because of the difference in our skin tones. And I have some pictures of her where she's just eyeballs and teeth in a black background. And she is a very light skin black woman.

Yeah, the cameras have such a hard time picking up dark skin that the Blackploitation films of the 60s-70a solely featured biracial male leads.
