Study: Humans Hold Racial Bias Against Robots
10th August 2019
The study “Robots And Racism” from the Human Interface Technology Laboratory in New Zealand indicates that a robot’s color will determine how it is racially perceived. This supposedly explains why so many robots happen to be white in color: due to alleged racial preferences, the 2018 study says.
Remember that all the R2 units in Star Wars were white and the Empire’s robots were black. I guess George Lucas is a closet racist.
