Lots of people of all different races--including white--use pronunciation and vernacular that differs significantly from the typical Midwestern speaker. I interact regularly with Caucasians that I can barely understand myself, let alone asking a typical commercial speech recognition system. On the flip side, quite a few black people speak in a manner that is indistinguishable from other races.
Universal recognition is the real problem to be solved. We want everyone to be understood.
We may want everyone to be understood, but this goes far beyond speech recognition software. Humans often can't understand humans. There are lots of people who really don't talk well at all.
