This is what desi has to say, “I think my `blackness` is interfering with my computer`s ability to follow me.” He goes on: “As soon as White Wanda appears, the camera moves. Black Desi gets in here . Nope! No face recognition anymore, buddy!” And then: “I am going on the record and I`m saying it . Hewlett - Packard computers are racist.”
HP official has this to say an HP official writes, "Some of you may have seen or heard of a YouTube video in which the facial-tracking software didn't work for a customer. We thank Desi, and the people who have seen and commented on his video, for bringing this subject to our attention.
"We are working with our partners to learn more."
The official, Tony "Frosty Welch" is the lead social media strategist for HP's Personal Systems Group and the community manager for the site.
