So, you know how they say “learn something new every day”? Well, guess what I just learned: if you bought a Hewlett-Packard computer for Christmas, you’re also a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Nice work, jerkstore.
That YouTube has been viewed 69,000 times meaning, naturally, that someone at HP has also seen it. Their response? THX FOR TEH FEEDBACK!!!1 LOL.
Everything we do is focused on ensuring that we provide a high-quality experience for all our customers, who are ethnically diverse and live and work around the world. That’s why when issues surface, we take them seriously and work hard to understand the root causes. We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty “seeing” contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.
Well, I guess that’s a reasonable excuse, but still, I think it’s pretty obvious that HP, makers of very fine and pure white printer paper are gigantic racists. Sons of bitches.
