microsoft photoshops out a Black man

I guess the black man wouldn’t fly in Poland. Oddly, both heads seem abnormally large. And the photoshop job isn’t great. You’d think someone at Microsoft would have better skills. Or maybe you wouldn’t.

    I should add that Microsoft has apologized for this. It reminds me of when Wisconsin photoshopped a Black student into a picture of a crowd of Badgers winning that Rose Bowl. It went on the cover of a major publication of theirs. This created a big issue back in 2000.

    My guess is that somebody in Microsoft’s Polish division started the day being edited out.

    The observation about the heads is interesting. Maybe none of the people on the (stock) photo are real?
