It could have gone unnoticed, but it didn’t. An image on Microsoft’s website in the US features an Asian man, a black man and a white female around a desk. On its Polish site, the same image appears but with the black man’s head replaced with that of a white man, albeit retaining its white hand. Maxi Microsoft has since apologized and pulled out the altered image, but not before it spread online like the A-H1N1 virus. Ensuing postulation range from “symbolic of interracial harmony”, to a simple marketing decision: Polish population is predominantly white.
