Microsoft Sorry Over Race Row Photo Blunder

Apparently there was a picture on their website of 3 racial diverse people in a boardroom.  However when it appeared on a Polish website the black man had been magically replaced by a white man.

So???

Let's be honest Eastern Europe isn't renowed for it's tolerance of non-whites.  I haven't got a problem with that, it's just the way things are.  Hated by the West for a long time etc..  Let's put it this way, I wouldn't advertise my company over there with Tiger Woods as the face of it!!  

Before all you Eastern European's start complaining (Like anyone reads this!) the ones that would write on here wouldn't be the sort to habour these feelings.  Stereotypes are there for a reason.  Because most of the time they're right.  Do you honestly think all the white folk in South Africa were cheering when that female (is she?) athelete got off the plane?  Oh come on!  There were still shit loads of them laughing their tits off at the darkie who looks like a bloke!  

I could go on for pages and pages about these sort of stereotypes.  Deal with it.  So what if a black guy got taken off a picture.  How many white people have not been included in pictures or adverts because of exactly the same reason.  Because it didn't fit the profile of an area.  (Nice white American on a billboard in Iraq? Or blonde cheerleader in a Pakistani magazine? I think not)

Get over it.  Why waste the time to take another picture.  I'm sure the woman got taken out of it somewhere else as well.  Just because it was a black man.

Bored of it all now
