Picture: The Racist Camera – Geekstir

Racist Camera

Flickr user !!! :: jozjozjoz :: !!! had a little run in with an intolerant, racist camera. She bought her mother a new Nikon S630 digital camera for Mother’s Day, and decided to take it to a baseball game to use it for the first time. Turns out the camera discriminates against Asian features. Just look at that little face to the left of the “Did someone blink?” text.

    lswift is right…

    FAIL – Nikon is a Japanese company. (I still don’t think it would be funny…)

    No,I don’t think the camera is racist for picking up the asian features of the young lady and misinterpreting her natural slant eyes as ‘closed.”

    Now I do think that it would be racist if – when an asian person appeared in the lens profile- the camera were to ask, or say:

    .’Me love you long time!”

    That would be racist..and not funny at all.

    NIGGAPLEEZ!

    Funny thing about white people, they somehow think they have the biggest eyes in the world. They dont. Or are our “big white man eyes” not capable of even picking up something like that.

    Really? The one brain cell…not again! You know that to survive, people need more than one brain cell, just because one of our pretty human cells cannot do all of the functions needed to complete actions such as breathing. Everyone needs to have humor, no matter how small or pathetic in our lives. Just go take your humorless life and complain to your cat/fish/wall.

    Racism is stating in any way that you or your race are better than a person of any particular race. Neither of the examples you gave were racist, just mean.

    @Sam, stop being an Uncle Tom. It’s embarrassing to the rest of us.

    We don’t think we have biggest eyes. Where did you hear that cr@p?

    Asians call us ’round eyes’, we don’t call ourselves that.

    If any one is being racist it is whomever calls Caucasians ’round eyes’.

    Again, you’re thinking too much about it. It’s just a funny picture. Imagine all the Japanese people who bought this, and get that same, “Did someone blink?” question every time they use it.

    thats funny… instead of saying “did someone blink?” it should say ” did someone order chinese food?”

  • jenniferc2112

    The camera asked me if my Caucasian boyfriend blinked. I looked at the picture and he had not. But he was wearing glasses. So the camera is also abusive to the sight impaired.

    Actually it would be anything commenting negatively upon another race or using language as to mock them, which he both did. You're more than welcome to use one of the MANY dictionaries online since your vocabulary seems to be lacking.
