What’s the difference between the first and the second picture? See the black guy in the first picture? Notice how he suddenly becomes a white guy in the second picture?
Whoever designed the Microsoft Business Productivity Infrastructure superimposed a white person’s head onto the black guy’s body in the Polish version of the same website.
Why would they do that? Perhaps this is because Poland has a very small population of people with African origin. But to superimpose the body of an African man with that of a Caucasian male just seems racially awkward. Regardless, Microsoft apologized for the mishap.
“We are looking into the details of this situation,” stated a Microsoft representative in an interview with CNET News. “We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the image.”
