Apparently someone at Microsoft decided to photoshop a black man out of the micrsoft website in Poland...but they forgot to photoshop his hand.

    I thought the exact same thing...what a careless mistake though.

    I didn't think it was really noticeable until I read the story.  Then it stuck out.  It makes me laugh that people are freaking out about it more than anything.  Hello...Poland is not known for it's diversity!  Perhaps it makes more sense to make it look less diverse for that site?

    From an insider's perspective, I don't think Diversity is the issue in Poland.  I think they would not accept the product if there was an African American man in the ad.

    I was trying to say it nicely without accusing the Polish population of being racist...but, yes, ITA.

    I attempted to say it nicely too but I'm in a short/crabby mood today.
