Kinect dubbed "racist"

[TheSentinel]

So many Honkies are getting really overreactive in this thread.

It's just sad, really.

How ridiculous can you get? It's racist because darker skin doesn't reflect light as well as fairer skin does?

Really? Surely that's very very basic science and even a little of basic art. Black doesn't reflect light as well as white, it also absorbs heat more. Its not racism its a fact.
Hell the article even explains that a simple change of clothes can make a big difference.

Wow so nobody is actually reading the link? way to go escapist

if you read the article it sates in the title that its a lighting problem.. but the last paragraph states

"It also failed to recognize another darker-skinned GameSpot employee after four calibration attempts."

but mainly its a lightning problem, and if your dark-skinned in a dark room, well good luck

either way what i got out of the article is that Kinect sucks..but then again I am biased against non motion gaming. I prefer to keep my exercise and gaming separate.. I sit to play controller and move games, and every day I run 2miles to get exercise..

Yes but where in either article does it mention that people are extremely upset and calling the device racist?
