A New Zealander of Asian descent has shrugged¹ off the rejection² of a passport application photo by software because of his eyes.

新西兰一位亚裔男子申请护照时因眼小遭到软件拒绝，他表示并不在意。

The system sent an error message after deciding Richard Lee's eyes were closed, when they are clearly open.

It was not racism³ he suggested. "It was a robot. No hard feelings."

The DJ and aerospace⁴ engineering student had submitted the photo to an online photo checker at New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs.

"No hard feelings on my part, I've always had very small eyes and facial recognition technology is relatively⁵ new and unsophisticated," the 22-year-old told Reuters.
