1) they seem to be taking it way too seriously. ONLY because the "black

2) they treat it as technical issue. (which in one sense it is, but out of
their control, thus waste of resources)

I've never really thought about it from this point of view, but now it is
more clear that fear of being labeled as racist (company or individual) is
also one of the points keeping the whole issue of racism alive.
