Software giant Microsoft Corp altered a photo on its website to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture.
A photo on the Seattle-based company's US website showed 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 was replaced with that of a white man.
The colour of his hand remained unchanged.
The photo editing sparked criticism online. Some bloggers said Poland's ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo.
