The FairFace dataset is "a face image dataset which is race balanced. It contains 108,501 images from 7 different race groups: White, Black, Indian, East Asian, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latino. Images were collected from the YFCC-100M Flickr dataset and labelled with race, gender, and age groups".
