A photo on the Redmond-based company’s U.S. marketing Web site microsoft.com shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the Web site of Microsoft’s Polish business unit, the black man’s head has been replaced with that of a white man. The color of his hand remains unchanged.

Microsoft apologizes for changing race in photo – Tech and gadgets- msnbc.com

You know, after reading this article, I’m really kind of stunned.   But the thing is, I’m not stunned at Microsoft.  I’m more stunned at the attention that it’s getting and who it’s coming from.  Of all the people that I have seen complaining about this, I have really yet to notice this being a hot topic within the Black community.  Myself included, we really don’t care.  It’s called MARKETING and it’s for a different country.  Hell, if Microsoft wants to create an advertisement for a different country that really doesn’t have too many black people, then so be it.

Hell, after looking at the photo, I’m not even sure if the guy was ORIGINALLY black.  I mean, look at his wrist in the below shot.

So, should people get upset that the guy was not originally black to begin with? I mean, cmon people.   It’s a shame that stuff like this makes it to the top of our news topics just because people with thin skin consider it racist.  Hell, the ethic groups that were changed in the picture really don’t care. As a black man, I do not see this affecting me or my life in any way, and therefore, I don’t care.   Hell, I LIKE the fact that Microsoft is portraying blacks in the office environment in roles other than the mail boy or the cleaning guy. 

Go Microsoft!  Don’t apologize to these politically correct pansies!
