"Racist Camera! No, I did not blink... I'm just Asian!" - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I was going to yahoo to check out what movies are out when this article got my attention. If your too lazy to read it all just read the first paragraph shit had me cracking up

Quote:

When Joz Wang and her brother bought their mom a Nikon Coolpix S630 digital camera for Mother's Day last year, they discovered what seemed to be a malfunction. Every time they took a portrait of each other smiling, a message flashed across the screen asking, "Did someone blink?" No one had. "I thought the camera was broken!" Wang, 33, recalls. But when her brother posed with his eyes open so wide that he looked "bug-eyed," the messages stopped.

My P90 has that too, but I don't use those stupid auto settings.

Good find.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 01-22-2010, 12:03 PM

that is stupid.

TNathe · 01-22-2010, 12:27 PM

lol, when I was in Chicago at the "Body" exhibit at their MOSI they had a camera that you looked into and it would perform a series of tests for whatev reason. An Asian lady was sitting at it and the screen kept saying "Error: Unable to Focus, Try opening eyes" haha, I was thinking "poor lady", but I think she just thought it was broken.

HAHAHAHA wow, i wonder that's why a lot of photographers in the club scene take 2-3 photos and then shows you the pic.

What an astute and cunning observation. I wish I could be so clever. Sadly, I'm an inept and clumsy buffoon. So clumsy, in fact, that I doubt I can manage to make this post without you ending up pinked for 2 weeks.

idk about that.

seems like there is a bit of both w/ the jdm 'material'.
japanese girls generally are good with makeup.
Their culture also favors chicks with big eyes.
Their makeup/grooming/photography tends to emphasize that.

Kinda hilarious how you're generalizing about a group of ppl, based on the porno they make.
(I only wish that were the truth, if also applied to Socal)
If you go to Japan & see everyday ppl who don't wear a shit-ton of makeup, you will see this.

Northern Chinese are generally more slanty-eyed
Southerners, like Cantonese usually aren't.
I've always thought the further up north in Asia you go,
the more prevalent you get with that particular feature.

I don't see how this is racist.
Not like having slanty eyes is something inherently 'bad'.

I think they should just try to do retina focusing instead of the whole face, then it'd probably work better. The thing doesn't work well with non-Asians either.

*ManoNegra* · 01-22-2010, 10:40 PM

Weird, when I took my picture it said "move out of your parents house".

singlecamslam · 01-22-2010, 10:48 PM

What about the camera that follows people around but couldn't follow black people around.

The only person with their eyes closed is the poor individual taking the picture.
