Arthur Chu added,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Alice named after an actual person? (Alice Liddell)
Yes but obviously the events in the book didn't actually happen to her
Lewis Carroll based the book on a story he started telling Alice and her sisters when they were out boating one day, but he ended up strongly denying that the character in the story resembled the real Alice to any degree
The original Tenniel illustrations don't look much like her (Liddell was dark haired, the Alice in the pictures is blonde)
At the same time, it's fairly safe to assume that the Alice he pictured in his mind's eye as he told the story was white.
The guy was a well off pastor? who mostly hung around landed white people IIRC.
Well sure and that obviously applies to all of these characters
Anyway, I think we both agree on the central point that using an AI to try to determine the ethnicity of some of the most well read public domain stories in western literature for Black History Month is about the whitest fucking thing.
