A disturbing picture from Intel




I don't even know where to begin with this.

In this advertisement, created this summer 2007, Intel in one image reiterated hundreds of years of racist ideas about white dominance and asserted its image as a colonizing power in technology.

I got tipped off to it from Racewire (http://www.racewire.org) who got tipped off to it from AfroNetizen (http://www.afro-netizon.com).

Here's another article in the Technology Times UK


and Intel's full apology here:
