Forums - Microsoft - BBC: Microsoft in web photo racism row

LOL!!!! wtf MS......



Around the Network

This is "simples". Posters with MS/x360 sigs say it is not racist.

Posters with PS3 sigs say that it is.

If the tables where turned so that it was Sony that did this, MS fanboys would be shouting racism etc.,

Most of you are a product of your product. You are not thinking for yourselves but brainedwash by the brand. It can do no wrong and others are always wrong.

If MS/Sony or whoever started an anti-some minority campaign most of you will blindly follow and defend it because it was started by your brand of choice.



Wouldn't it just have been easier to take another photo?

I mean, sure, why remove the black guy anyway? The fact they felt they had to isn't great - it doesn't reflect well on MS nor their apparent belief Poland doesn't like blacks.

But why not just spend a tiny amount of money, get a new photo, and get away with it?

'Gotta love the way these companies set themselves up for a fall with this kind of stuff.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

There aren't asian people in Poland neither.

^^Their skin is lighter so maybe more acceptable. I don't understand the thinking behind that.

I don't have the figures but I have visited Warszawa and Krakow and did see some African and Asian people that I guess lived there.

Isn't there a couple players that play for the Polish football team that are black?

There was some African dude on the team a WC or 2 ago...but I'm not sure he's there anymore.

Stupidity, even if there arent lots of black people in Poland there was no need to alter the image. Bullshit, what does this say about polish soceity? If people are different we should see them? There arent many asians over here but we dont photoshop them out of ads, Ive seen many ads in Japan/S Korea with whites and they dont photoshop. It doesnt matter if he was Arab, Latino, Black or a fucking Eskimo the fact that they photoshoped proves that Microsoft Poland has a few racist dickheads that need to be fired.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Microsoft and EA the scumbags of the industry.
