Proof

I'm offended by this shit. I saved up 30000円 to buy an Xbox 360 Elite this weekend and I saw this. If you're colored like me, Natal can't read your image. This explains why only white people were shown in the demos and videos of Natal.

This is a load of shit, and I wanted everyone to know it's messed up. Way to totally screw this up MS. I won't be buying the Elite this week but rather use it to save up for a new MacBook Pro.

If you're spanish/black/etc...or Arab like me, you're shit out of luck with using Natal.

White people are okay!

If you saved up 3000 dollars (or whatever it is, I don't know yen conversions) over the course of one weekend, I think you need to write a book or something.

Also, Natal will be coming out at the end of 2010 by all accounts. If they don't figure out how to let caramel-colored gamers play on it by then, they're in trouble. Cool down Kaos.

Obviously it won't ship with that fault? People are acting like Microsoft did this because they're racist or something. Companies aren't racist. Just an oversight. They consider you all so normal they forgot your skin color is different and can screw with their sensors. That's all. Relax.

Maybe they'll bundle it with a special gaming outfit to accomodate everyone?

The yen rate is easy, just use 1cent=10円 that gives you a idea of the cost but look online for the rate since it is ever changing. So 30000円 is only 308.61$ (the rate RIGHT now)

Pretty sure 30000 yen (if he is talking Japanese money), only equates to like 300 US dollars. Which, I don't think is enough for a MacBook Pro. Unless he has more money, or my conversion is off. Probably the latter.

It was all scripted gameplay...

...or it was Microsoft wanting to show that just like the last 2,000 years of history, the black man has still got a hard struggle ahead of him.

This is not actually that uncommon or unknown.
If you've ever taken a lecture where the presenter uses one of the newer automated, you've seen that they automagically adjust for focus, color, tint, et al.

When a black person or someone with black shirt sleeves moves papers around on the projector scanning surface, it whites out the screen, the computer can't compensate for the black. Its really fucking annoying.

Was it NOT acceptable? I mean...technically, white folk are the most colored of all, since white is ALL colors, while black is the absence of color. Now THAT can become a very racist idea, sir.

Nonetheless, "colored" is a term that speaks about more people than just a specific group, such as black, brown, etc.

That's the point I was eluding to. It's not an acceptable term anymore. I'm sure the OP meant not to offend which is why I found the whole situation ironic.

Sooo...since black people, Mexican people, etc. have colored pigmentation to their skin...they aren't colored? What are they, then?

Look, if someone is supposed to label off every single race and color when talking about a massive group of mixed peoples, then by all means...I hope that works out for you. I'll just say "colored"...because I don't live in the '50s and '60s.

Plus, I'm from Texas...so whatever.

NeoGAF is always wrong anyways...

But still, a good 2 days ago I was thinking to myself about the differences in human recognition for the range of skin color, and it's no small task. Then I thought of a sci fi where there were robots that couldn't properly recognize some people as humans.

What's funny is that the article says that it was N'gai Croal who it couldn't recognize. Since he thought Resident Evil 5 was racially insensitive...will he call out Microsoft on this? :P

I'm sorry. Are you checked every time you go to the airport? Were you called a terrorist, a sand person, and worse names in HS? Racism is around because people are afraid of different people. I'm just stating Natal won't work if you're not white.
