Now I'm not completly saying this is the case but MS has in my mind really made itself seem very racist or very stupid. Either way it doesn't sit well with me. In the picture above you see a add for their product hosting three different people. A white person, black person, and asian person. In the next add you see that the black person has been removed and might I add very poorly( the guy still has a black hand). Now either they are racist or they supported a racist request to change the ad. Either way Microsoft is still in control and didn't do anything up front to prevent this. At this present time the ad was removed but the fact that it was give approval in the first place to be done is what is so messed up to me. On top of this, news has hit that Natal, the new motion control sensor for the xbox 360 due out next year, isn't seeing people of darker skin tones very well due to how the sensor is made! Now when I first heard this I thought to myself that its just a mistake or a glitch but now with things like this happening it really put a 2nd look on this. Was Natal created for white or lighter skin tone people? But what is really going on we would not know for sure but it doesn't look good for them with stories of race related issues like this hitting the news about your company. I hope this isn't the case for any respected company but if proven to be I would no longer support anything they had to do with and am sure I wouldn't be alone.
