Maybe the camara is a guy, with an eye for the ladies.

Or maby its a lady, with eyes for a lady.

I think it has more to do with the lighting.

His face blends too much with the background.

I would encourage him to try the same experiment again, only this time, place a majority of the lighting BEHIND the camera, not in front of it.

Just read a news article on this very subject.

the above statement is pretty much the exact recommendation that HP made in their official statement.

on a side note: the individuals in the video claim they simply thought it was funny... they did not intend to play the racism card... they simply thought it was hilarious.
