I can understand making the change to fit your demographic, but that's just funny! The fact that marketing didn't see the Macbook and you did was hilarious :rolf.

As far as the Polish being racist, they wouldn't have a chance to be racist until they come to the U.S. I don't believe they have a large African American population in Poland. Also, I'm sure they hate the Germans so much they welcome everyone else.

I think that would be African Pole population.:alcoholic

:alcoholicWhat the hell you talking about Willis?
The guy they cut out of the picture was African American. I was just saying that they don't have any there. Explains why they did a half-assed job cutting him out.

I understand that, but if there are Negros born and living in Poland, they would be African Polish, not African American. Since no Blacks probably live there, the face was photoshopped with a more European looking guy. BTW, Doesn't the guy on the left look Asian to you?
