The reality of the situation is Kinect probably has a harder time identifying darker skinned people in low-level lighting conditions. It certainly isn't 'debukned' and I don't know many people who actually 'cared' which probably is relative to the low responses this thread has garnered.

Gamespot admitted in the article "However, Kinect had no problems identifying a third dark-skinned GameSpot employee, recognizing his face after a single calibration." They also stated they don't know how wide spread this problem was . Why would they lie about this?

I agree :/
