Racist DVD Player?

Published by Toronto Mike on December 29, 2008 @ 20:31 in Miscellaneous

Question MarkOne of the gifts exchanged this Christmas was a specific Pioneer DVD player my brother Ryan wanted.

The DVD box noted the player was black, but in addition to black used the term "Negro". I know enough French to know black in French is noir. Since negro is an ethnic slur, is this DVD player racist?

Ohhh, it's Spanish!

Usually our stuff is French and English only. I thought maybe a Japanese translator screwed up...

Yeah, it is strange. Most electronics I see have all 3 languages. Must have been an oddball one that made its way up there.

So many jokes I could write here, but I won’t. I must remember I live and work in the GTA in 2008.

Japanese company, product made in Thailand, instructions in Spanish. What's so hard to follow? ;-)
