    Same thing with motion sensor sinks. There are way too many that don’t work for people with darker skin because they were only ever tested on white people.

    Epitomizes white privilege for me. The white male is considered default and as a result we enjoy benefits on the daily without even realizing it. The book Invisible women does a great job pointing out many ways in which the “male default bias” (idk if thats the correct terminology) negatively effects women. Some of these are ‘trivial’, like how women’s bathrooms can serve fewer people at a time because stalls are less space efficient than urinals. So instead of giving womens bathrooms more space we just laugh at how womens bathrooms always have long lines. Many are obviously not so trivial.
