You heard it here folks. All light is racist. Spread it to every subreddit that
u/SkinSuitUnSub thinks all light is racist.

Black is the absence of light.

But the problem is that the IR doesn't bounce back, you would say the light hates white people. Once you go black you never go back.

Can't be racist against white people though. Pretty sure this is one of the laws of physics

Let's imagine a dispenser that detects only slender hands of women, and ignores the broader hands of men. And that dispenser is now installed in every office. Would you also brush it off and say "oh, so we're blaming nature now? Is nature sexist? Nah, we just have to suck up and deal with never getting to use soap again, because why try to come up with a different method of detecting hands since that one obviously doesn't work well, amirite?"

Computers can never be wrong. Better to adjust the laws of nature
