I can’t believe they aired this google pixel commercial during Super bowl?

[Guess Who]

Literally no problem with this commercial

 

[Mowgli]

I have a pic of my dad in the fireplace and wish I had this tech then

 

[Prodyson]

I ain’t never been upset about my skin looking a certain way in pictures. This commercial was pathetic, insulting and embarrassing

There have been think pieces written about the design of cameras (still and motion) and how they are made to better capture white people’s skin tones. People have even talked about the shooting of tv shows like Insecure and movies like Moonlight that better capture the skin tones of black people. There is definitely a “market” for this, even if you’re not included. Especially the people who spend half of their lives taking pictures of themselves and posting them to social media

And this is where some black folks pretend they never looked at a photo and wished they had a better camera because due to their skin tone and the lighting it didn’t turn out well.

Some folks you can never please.

Google advised mental health care when workers complained about racism and sexism
"I can think of 10 people that I know of in the last year that have gone on mental health leave because of the way they were treated," said one employee.

Benjamin Cruz, a former instructional designer in Google’s Cloud division, was caught off guard when a colleague told them that their skin was much darker than she expected.

Cruz, who is Mexican American and prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them, reported the incident to human resources in 2019 where personnel told them they should “assume good intent,” Cruz recalled in an interview. Unsatisfied, Cruz asked human resources to look deeper into the incident, and an HR official said an investigation into the matter had been closed, Cruz said.


So, Cruz sought help from human resources again. The solution? Urge Cruz to take medical leave and tend to their mental health before moving to a new role in the company. Cruz went on medical leave, and hoped to take the company up on its offer for a new position, they said. But Cruz was turned down from every role they applied for, so they were forced to quit.

“After I made that complaint, my work started getting pushed out from under me, but my team acted like everything was fine. I wanted to find help,” Cruz said. “When the medical leave was recommended to me, it was like an automatic process.”

Google declined to comment on Cruz’s allegations.

Cruz’s experience with Google’s internal human resources personnel echoes that of several former and current Google employees, including two prominent Black women, Timnit Gebru and April Curley, who were pushed out of Google at the end of last year. Both women were known for their advocacy for increased diversity in the tech industry, and when their complaints about how the company handled racial and gender discrimination reached human resources, they were both given the same advice: undergo mental health counseling or take medical leave.

In the weeks since both women’s departures, nine other current and former Google employees have come forward to say they were treated the same way. They consulted human resources after colleagues made comments about their skin color or Black hairstyles, or asked if they were sexually interested in their teammates. They also contacted human resources to report retaliation after protesting sexual harassment issues and to advocate for raises for Black people to match white employees’ pay. Each time, human resource personnel recommended the employees seek therapy or take medical leave to address their mental health — despite their mental well-being having nothing to do with their complaints. An additional 12 current and former Google employees confirmed that this is a common practice at Google’s human resources department.

“Going on leave is so normalized. I can think of 10 people that I know of in the last year that have gone on mental health leave because of the way they were treated,” said a former Google employee, who is a person of color and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasnot authorized to speak about his work at Google. He went on medical leave last year after he said he had numerous unproductive conversations with human resources about how his colleagues discussed race.

Pixel's whole selling point is the camera. They usually outperform Iphone and the other Androids. The issue may not be relevant to you, but as a dark skinned breh, most cameras do a shabby job in low light.

No they don't and I've had several phones

People complain when they make advertisements for us, then complain when they ignore us and pretend we don't exist. Nikkas just like to complain.
