Nah, they are usually tourists or students. Many Brits in Poland though, and I am friends with some of them.

not sure if this is actually racism on microsoft's part. it might be called targeted advertising or something similar.

also, funnily enough, one of the results from searching on microsoft's site for businessproductivity (i was looking to see if they had more variations of that page for other countries) is a page called 'Can you spot the difference?" Laughing

This is not racism. Poland is 99.9999% white, so why would there be a black person in "representative" picture of what organization in Poland looks like. The only thing funny here is shitty photoshop instead of using a different photo.

They probably thought about equally removing the Asian guy, but they eventually concluded that they could not properly photoshop him out, so they allowed him to stay under the concept that "at least he his white'. Laughing

That's just stupid, whjats the point anyway? Not like it matters if the guys is black or not... Razz

It does. You probably live in a country with a lot of black people so it's normal for you. It's not like that in Poland and Baltic states. Having a black (or any race that isn't white for that matter) person in ads is weird.

Perhaps he meant it was the Global marketing's mistake of taking a photo of a black guy in the first place. Laughing
