HP Computers Hate Black People
Wow. Here's hoping they're working on a software fix for this, and fast, 'cause (a) this is lame and (b) it could lead to some interesting conversations at customer service counters around the nation.
CUSTOMER: Hi, I'd like to return this HP computer, please. It seems to be defective.
CLERK: Let me guess, the face-tracking feature isn't working as you expected?
CUSTOMER: That's right, how did you know?
CLERK: Oh, it doesn't work on people who aren't white.
CUSTOMER: ...
CLERK: Yup. Just like face tracking and a multi-touch screen, this product also has 'hate' as a built-in feature.
CUSTOMER: Why do I doubt they listed that on the box?
UPDATE: HP responds!
