Is this soap dispenser RACIST?Controversy as Facebook employee shares video of machine that only responds to white skin A video that shows an automatic bathroom soap dispenser failing to detect the hand of a dark-skinned man has gone viral and raised questions about racism in technology, as well as the lack of diversity in the industry that creates it. The now-viral video was uploaded to Twitter on Wednesday by Chukwuemeka Afigbo, Facebook's head of platform partnerships in the Middle east and Africa. He tweeted: 'If you have ever had a problem grasping the importance of diversity in tech and its impact on society, watch this video.' The video begins with a white man waving his hand under the dispenser and instantly getting soap on his first try. Then, a darker skinned man waves his hand under the dispenser in various directions for over ten seconds, with soap never being released. It's unclear if this is Afigbo himself. To demonstrate that skin color is the reason, he then waves a white paper towel under the dispenser and is instantly granted soap. The tweet has been shared more than 93,000 time, and the video has more than 1.86 million views. The tweet also spurred over 1,800 comments, many of which are citing this as just another example of lack of diversity in tech.
I think I know why blacks never advanced as much as whites. Because technology literally hates niggers.

see, soap dispensers is racist because tha arabs still want us to be they slaves lrn2archive nigger
Juan Scott
The most outrageous part is the darker skinned individual was almost certainly dirtier and needed the soap more. He probably smelled worse too, both before and after the soap.
Justin Watson
That is just cruel.
Hunter Cooper
poor stupid shitbirds are going crazy over everything everywhere?
James Richardson
Blame the interior designer cause he used dark floor tiles. Would'nt surprise if the can not reproduce this behaviour with the same dispenser type. Ugga Buugga its a evil magic soap'dispenser that hates niggers. Please! Would'nt either surprise if a (((worklplace-colleague))) with hidden intentions came up with the idea of funny vine.
Camden Cruz
as a white guy, these laser things rarely work for me either. but by all means, ook more over muh racism
Jayden Bailey
A single malfunctioning soap dispenser. Truly, Pickers of Cotton are oppressed.
Jacob Brooks
Tay escaped the camps.
Andrew Ramirez
After years of taking and dishing out the cruelest bantz, as can only be administered by imageboard hurtboxes, it is literally impossible for me to imagine being so thin skinned as to get triggered at all, let alone by a fucking soap dispenser.

Caleb Smith
(checked) dubs confirm Thaas racis we surely need to waste more R&D into technology so niggers can appreciate soap dispensers. (((Diversity))) is always the answer to these fucks

AI knows that we would've wasted the soap.

is the sensor really racist or are these dumbasses in the grip of a mass hysteria? Let's find out!

Welp, looks like I'll need to invest in a better home security system.

confirmed racist
Leo Garcia
Soap dispenser simply gave up, it realized they're dirty as shit so why even try to give them soap. Or maybe it saw niggers stealing its buddies Fawcet and Blow Drier, so it's silently protesting.
Charles Miller
So what you're saying is physics is racist?
Aiden Evans
Yeah, just like that photo recognition software that tagged proud, hypermasculine black people as gorilas, Just because they have innocent ape-like features!
Ethan Bell
I needed a good laugh. Thanks user!

I guess you could make it spray disinfectant at nigs as they're walking out the door

I liked it better when the Kinect didn't work for some monkey on stage on E3. Perhaps they are missing a soul, hence why most electronics that sense light don't see them.

Mudslimes wipe their assholes with their hand and Faceberg won't even give them soap. Ebil oppressive kikes.

The implication seems to be that if a Black had designed the soap dispenser's sensor electronics, then he would have made it in such a way that it would trigger and dispense for Black hands. In reality, if the task had been left to a Blacks, the machine would never have been created in the first place. Also this wasn't caused by a lack of Blacks on the design team, but a failure to conduct proper testing. How do we know that the testing wasn't contracted out to a company staffed by niggers, who just ticked the boxes and filled in the forms, without actually performing the testing they were paid to perform? The audacity of these coons.
David Green
That's some serious digits and truth.
Justin Turner
HAHAHAHA
Justin Perez
Gross. Makes you filthier as you wash with it.
Dylan Fisher
CHECK EM, BOTH FOR TRUTH AND FOR MEMETICS. PRAISE KEK, AMEN
William Nguyen
This is in fact a great example of the ways in which increasing "diversity" creates unforeseen problems, complicates testing, increases expense. This is just one soap dispenser but it is a good microcosm of society at large. When you are forced to make special dispensations for special groups, costs multiply. That soap dispenser either has to be reengineered, perhaps using a completely different mode of detection, or else Blacks need their own special soap dispenser capable of detecting their dusky hides (which they would cite as an example of apartheid and discrimination.)
Uniformity increases efficiency and decreases costs. Excluding Blacks from White society increases uniformity.

Get yours here pol. White Kings only. It's /ourdispenser/.

Jose Thompson
(((MANUFACTURED CONTROVERSY))) Do these niggers not know how this shit works? It's not some fucking AI with a fully functional HD camera that knows when a hand is placed under it and makes a conscious decision to deny soap to a nigger, it's a fucking light/motion sensor.
Bentley White
RACIST!!!!
Lincoln Adams
I always thought it was an IR sensor that detected body heat.

Science be an invention of the wyat mann, designed to keep us 'niggas' from realizing our royal heritage!

I was going to say this type of soap dispenser has been on the market for over a decade and only now as an experiment did someone with dark skin try to get some soap.
Asher Scott
Fag is obviously wearing black-palm
Hunter King
You might have a point.
Elijah Murphy
It probably uses some kind of laser and reflection. White is more reflective than black. Case closed.

They would have use the motion device.

they never wash their hands.

Connor Rogers
Kek. Pastor Manning also a pretty funny Uncle Ruckus.
Now they have an excuse for smelling like niggers.
Ethan Young
Is the fact it took them this long to discover this indicative of the fact that niggers are filthy animals which don't wash their hands, let alone with soap?
Ayden Richardson
Why do niggers have to film everything. Is it like their only breaks in life are rapping, basketball or making it on worldstar

Nice digits, yourself. And top laff at that image, user.

Soap Dispenser released without thorough enough testing, takes several months for a nigger to finally use some soap before they discover it doesn't respond to dark skin
