technology & race

Two clips that pair well with the Dyer article “Light of the World.”

1.  Excerpt from the sit-com Better Off Ted.  The clip is low quality, but the episode is about the installation of high-tech sensors that, as it turns out, don’t read blackness.

2.  Coworkers perform a test that shows how HP computers fail to recognize/track the faces of black people.  Shows the computer successfully tracking the white person, failing to recognize or track the black person.

HP computers are racist
