Hang on. That doesn't make any sense. It's not like they changed an English-language website (like the Microsoft one, which was ridiculous) to a Polish one. The Polish one would have come first, and then clearly someone was wanting to be more PC (Poles are very conscious of how PC people from more Western countries are), and thought they'd stick a black guy in for good measure. Tactless, yes, but it's very different to the Microsoft example.
(And also, I know you could level the same accusation of racism against them for the very fact that they DID choose a black person for the second one...to make it more 'multicultural'...but then that's not a Polish thing...that happens everywhere.)
I think logic is on Paulina's side here, seems like the black guy was added afterwards - perhaps to reflect more accurately the cultural mix of people in the target market?
No no, they're clearly just anti-nurse. See, only white people can be doctors and get nice coats.
ReplyDeleteOh dear....my boyfriend went to that university.

ReplyDeleteWhat, so Polish people don't like white people? Racists.
