yeah on microsoft's behalf... they would have had the black guy in that ad and the polish would have been like "tf is that in the middle?"

Why would you cut out a white women for a black male? It makes no sense to my honky side.

obviously to show 'diversity' in the university, where it doesn't really exist

some Asian civilization actually ransacked Poland centuries ago, so, it makes sense.

the Congo, however, did not

and Poles never ventured out searching for cheap labor. they grow it there already.

i don't see a problem with it. poland is 98% white, and the pic already had a chinese looking dude, so they had to have the other 2 as whites. whether they turn the chinese or the black into a whitey doesn't matter. and you know what, if the chinese dude had been replaced with a whitey, the uproar would be a tenth as much.

if microsoft makes a dedicated website for the gambians, it would be odd for them to show 1 black person and 2 non-blacks. same thing here.
