Microsoft makes a POOR DECISION with online Ad

• Three business people (one black, one white, and one Asian) are shown as part of a pitch for Microsoft’s business productivity software
• In same photo on a Polish website, a white head is placed on the head of the black person and the HANDS WERE NEVER CHANGED

DAMN

• Noticed and made rounds on Twitter and other websites
• Not good publicity for Microsoft (gives the impression it had something to do with RACE, as to why the photo was changed)

My DAMN Opinion:

With the type of MONEY and MANPOWER microsoft has I would think something like this would’ve been noticed before going on-line.  Mistakes happen and I actually think it’s funny, but Microsofts competitors will try to turn this into a case of discrimination.(or people who are just against Microsoft)   Why wouldn’t you notice you have black hands on a white man’s body.. DAMN

Is this some form of DISCRIMINATION OR RACISM?
