SOFTWARE giant Microsoft apologised today for altering a photo on its website which changed the race of one of the people shown in the picture.
A photo on the company's US site shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table.
But on the website of Microsoft's Polish business unit, the black man's head has been replaced with that of a white man. The colour of his hand remains unchanged.
The photo editing sparked criticism online.
Some bloggers said Poland's ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo.
A Microsoft spokesman said: "We apologise and are in the process of pulling down the image."
