Software giant Microsoft Corp. has a new controversy on its hands. The company is apologizing for altering a photo on its Web site to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture -- from black to white.
A photo on the company's U.S. Web site 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. Ooops! You can't have black folks showing up on your Polish website, now can you? That's a low-down dirty shame and I am appalled at Microsoft for this.
The company has apologized and said that they are looking into the matter. Doesn't the company pride itself on being exclusive and diverse? I am sure they will try to blame it on Poland's ethnic homogeneity.
