no, not blinking. just asian.

First saw this in Joz's blog last week, and it has since gotten picked up on a bunch of other blogs, including Gizmodo... So, the new Nikon S630 camera, in all its technological awesomeness, has a handy feature that supposedly detects when human subjects "blink." Great, right?

Joz got one for her mom, and discovered one serious flaw... The camera technology appears unable to distinguish between someone who is actually blinking and someone who just has really small, open eyes (i.e. Asians): Racist Camera! No, I did not blink... I'm just Asian! That's racist!
