It's not racist because they were simply trying to change the ad to meet the racial buildup of Polish society, I really don't see anything wrong with that. They just did a crappy job.

I don't know, I usually trust companies like Microsoft because they should have absolutely no intentions of causing public harm.

It's not racist, it's an advertisement targeted to a specific audience. I would have done the same.Unassigned

What, are you saying that a black man isn't good enough for advertising to that specific audience?

And yeah, you're damn right that's offensive as hell. It's the same kind of "white men won't buy this if we show an asian woman, black people won't buy this unless we throw a jive-talking Aunt Jemima character in there" type of thinking that results in all of the racist-as-hell commercials for Popeye's Fried Chicken and Krystal's hamburgers.

I'm not defending it totally, I think it's useless and unnecessary but I can totally see why a company would do it
