Camera's are advancing at an alarming rate, adding options like being able to notice if someone had blinked during the photo. Nikon is one of these companies to add this option to their camera. The only problem with this, it cannot detect the Asian eye. Many companies are set around creating products for the caucasian consumer, but being that Nikon is a Japanese company you would think that they may have thought about the shape of an Asian eye? While they may not have set out trying to be racist in this endeavor there still seems to be a problem here. As our technology advances, are our minorities going to be left out of the benefits?
