If you still don't believe that the lunatics are running the asylum, get a load of an op-ed that a civil engineering student from the University of California, Los Angeles, just penned for the the College Fix.
POLL: What scares you the most? What does it say?
In it, Sullivan Israel shares that he recently took part in an online debate about "systemic racism" sponsored by the Bruin Republicans — and that some UCLA students complained during the debate that automatic soap dispensers are racist.
Yup.
You know, the contraptions in public restrooms all across the fruited plain that magically emit gobs of liquid soap soon after you place your hands underneath them?
Anyway, Israel said one student said the dispensers "don't see her hands" because of her skin's dark pigment.
Umm, okay.
Oh, but it gets better. He added that another student said the dispensers force "black and brown bodies" to show their palms — which are "the only light areas of the skin" — before the soap will come out.

right. just like the faucets and the hand dryers maybe even the lights all motion detectors
The palms are not the only areas that are light colored. I checked that out 50 years ago.
Some are infrared. Not sure what that has to do with melanin content but anyway I don’t think I’ve ever dispensed soap onto the top of my hands. Always into the palm. Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?
I have had trouble with the electric paper dispensers. Usually when they run out of paper.
Because the sensors are motion detectors.
“ He added that another student said the dispensers force “black and brown bodies” to show their palms — which are “the only light areas of the skin” — before the soap will come out.”
‘Scuze me, but aren’t your palms where you want the soap???
There was a TV show a while back about an office, they had installed new light sensors that didn’t recognize white people. They had to assign black people to white employees. It was pretty funny but the show didn’t last more then a few episodes.
As a female I think they are sexist, as many I have come across suffer from premature ejaculation.
Oops. Sorry.
Not as raciss as flesh-colored bandaids, or shaving cream, or whipped cream, or egg white, or Wite-Out, or whiteboard, or white as a ghost.
Dirt, grease and grime are BLACK
Soap is WHITE
Horrors!!
Call me when we have WHITE dirt and BLACK soap.
Agent the palms where people of any color want the soap anyway? So what’s the problem?
UCLA is prestigious?
It’s no coincidence that it is ACLU spelled sideways.:D
This was actually demonstrated at Facebook in 2017. Some dispensers rely on sensors looking for a color change to see the hand and dispense the soap. 5% are too dark for it to work correctly.
They don’t see Caucasian hands a lot of the time, either. The sensors suck.
WiFi?
-or-
5G enabled Five Eyes?
Who puts their hands under a soap dispenser palms down? Geezis.....
This has zero to do with race and everything with being self absorbed.
80 people stated it.
You got your shot?
Did you buckle and show ID, or did you raise a loud stink and publicly humiliate her for her racist obstinance?
(FR’s spell checker obstinately refuses to recognized obstinance as a word...)
“ Who puts their hands under a soap dispenser palms down? Geezis...”
Your Common sense is undermining the narrative.
