This is an article about how some technology is being accused of being racist. The main problems addressed in the article are cameras that are supposed to detect if someone blinks won't take the picture if the person is Asian, and webcams that are supposed to be able to face detect but won't track if a black person is in front of it because their skin is too dark. The technology itself is a good idea, but obviously wasn't tested well enough before being sold. Companies need to be more careful with this kind of thing, because even though these mistakes were unintentional, some people do get easily offended.
