Microsoft apologises after changing advert to replace black man in Polish version

You'd think Microsoft would do a better job of photoshopping the pic! Maybe the marketing team was told they weren't allowed to use competitors products so they used Paint instead.

Is Poland THAT racist?

Yes, I know, my comment was made in jest anyway. A lot of what I write is like that, perhaps not 100% accurate, but enough to leave the reader to draw their own conclusions about what I'm insinuating. I find long posts which cover all bases of an argument too tedious and boring for somewhere like an online forum.

However, out of interest, would you say that this site (link below) should provoke the same kind of outrage that microsofts advert did? http://www.365black.com/365black/index.jsp

I doubt the country is so racist for this to be needed.

One final point I'd like to make is that having a whole website which literally SEGREGATES black people from white people is hardly the way to racial equality, whether you believe it to be racist or not. Surely the way to get equality is to integrate white and black people into each other, not to create websites implying "Black people are different from other races, we have our websites and the whites can have theirs". All it does is reinforce the idea that there IS something about black/white/Asian/ people that means we should be separated.

Yeah because everyone knows Asians make up 33.3% of the population, Blacks make up another 33.3% and whites make up the remaining 33.3%, and it's racist to deny this fact
