This is doubly funny for me because today at work, a co-worker did me a favour, and demanded to be paid back, I asked if she wanted money and she said "No, I just need a good ole fashioned slave to take care of some things around the house" - I of course immediately pulled the black-card and began the guilt trip. To which she (after apologizing 100x even after I told her I was just kidding) said, and I quote "It's not even like my people hate black people! I am Polish! Polish people love black people!"

Ohhhh shit, totally showing her this tomorrow.

You shouldn't. Poland is pathetic. 20 years since the end of the cold war and fuck all has progressed in the country. FAIL.

Just so we're clear. Polish Women & Black Men = Peanut butter & Jelly? I need to know before I start making reservations.

I'm black and I really had no idea about this stuff involving Polish people being racist towards black people. Growing up in elementary school, I remember knowing some Polish classmates.

In fact, I met one of them recently and she was really nice to me, so this all comes as a bit of a shock. Not that I expect all Polish people to treat black people horribly, though.

I go every year and visit a small town Szamocin North of Poznan. There are times I feel like I have a Bulls eye on my back when it comes to the guys. The girls however . . .

I used to work in Poland. I was there for 6 months. I must say it was a pleasant experience. The people are humble. they, at least the people that I met, don't have that snobbish attitude.

I guess its more a case of product identity.

in the original picture there are clearly 3 groups present

white woman

asian man

black man

that is because people of most genders and colours are adressed with this ad.

no take a look at poland: there are barely black people living there. so they replaced the black man with a white, polish looking man. not because they are racist, but because it raises the connectivity between customer and the advertised product.

It isn't that they did it, it's that they did it so badly.

I plan on living there, and it has been a very pleasant experience, the kids try too hard to grow up though. If I can land a animation job in Poland then I'll be happy.

There are times when I'm there that I have to remind myself I'm married.

<sigh>

:lol I love how often they do this with IT stuff. We noticed the same thing in a high school class with some program we were using that the PC in the picture had no plugs in it, but the people were using it.

JESUS POLAND!!! how do they feel about no strings attached?

She doesn't really give a shit about strings considering shes prolly a fucking sex slave or something. I watched a documentary about that shit and whenever I see a eastern Euro sounding girl in a porno my dick goes limp. Too sad. I'm not going to take a chance on busting my nut to something that fucked up...

Obviously MS forgot about this guy:
Emmanuel Olisadebe, Nigeria born but turned Polish citizen professional soccer player, played on the Polish NT during the 2002 World Cup.

Someone needs to photoshop it so that there's a third camera angle where they're looking at NeoGAF, and then the guy's face swaps to the white dude.

I'm pretty sure that black dude's using a Mac. It looks like a 12" PowerBook in front of him.
