Racist HP Webcam

The video above is pretty funny and creative: HP Webcams can’t see black people.  The cameras are supposed to recognize faces and follow them around, but apparently they don’t work if a person’s complexion is too dark.  Consumer Reports tested out the claim and found that it was true, but it found that it could work with a black person if more lighting sources were added.

(Normally I’d say something about the STUPID comments under the YouTube video, but I’m going to maintain the holiday cheer and just ignore ‘em.  Let’s be thankful those morons aren’t here.)
