And you're such an angry bitter person that you automatically assume everything is racist? What are the qualifications of the article's author? You must have an exhausting life seeing racism behind every tree.

What about the guys at Fuji film? Is their film anti-white and Asian biased?

This whole discussion is absurd. Next thing we'll hear is that swimming pools are racist.

You might not like the way he says it, but go back and read the article:

    Kathy Connor, an executive at Kodak, told Roth the 
    company didn’t develop a better film for rendering 
    different gradations of brown until economic pressure 
    came from a very different source: Kodak’s professional
    accounts. Two of their biggest clients were chocolate 
    confectioners, who were dissatisfied with the film’s 
    ability to render the difference between chocolates of 
    different darknesses. “Also,” Connor says, “furniture 
    manufacturers were complaining that stains and wood 
    grains in their advertisement photos were not true to life.”

How is that not racist? The film wasn't an issue when it was just people of colour coming out poorly, but when it's chocolate and furniture being badly exposed, then they develop a new film.

Please don't express disagreement this way on Hacker News, regardless of how strongly you disagree.

Um. For a long time they were. Public pools were subject to racial segregation.

Glad we have an expert on racism like yourself to help set us all straight here!
