Probably just very, very bad miscommunication internally. I mean, what kind of large scale company would jeopardize their image with racism?


And besides, they already apologized, so how can you call that racist?

Well, the topic is "Microsoft is Racist".


Therefore, I am just pointing out the fact that Microsoft cannot be deemed as racist if they have already apologized, and are looking into the matter. ;)

Well I actually put "Microsoft Is Racist?

Maybe we should change the title to "Is Microsoft Racist?"

Quoting shamelessly for lulz. Also, I bet they were just too lazy to make a new advertisement. Apparently, it's still kind of segregated there (more as in still), and it was a stupid mistake but it was just to fit that country's version of politically correct. Advertising is advertising and morality comes 2nd at best.
