    more likely to fail to compare a photo ID to the person presenting that document if the person is of a different ethnicity

    Wait, are they saying if someone is a different ethnicity they are more likely to not check if the ID matches?

    That’s how it reads to me but I don’t think it’s the intention?

      I think it means they’re less likely to be able to identify that the ID photo is the same person as the one standing in front of them. It’s the other-race effect, which I understand is quite natural for people of all races that have less experience with other races.
