Black people are just harder to photograph because of the way light plays on their skin, so its natural to see a lot of range in their photos. Versus white people, who seem to be either normal or ghostlike.
That being said, I do think their is a bias towards photographing black people paler than they really are. The same way that white people try to get tan to be more attractive, blacks may try to look paler and less dark.
It's that whole, 'grass is always greener...' or 'you always want that which is unattainable'.
you might even be able to do the same comparison tests with photos of white actresses to catch them looking more tan.
