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

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.
