A New York man filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple
on Dec. 24, alleging that the Apple Watch's blood oximeter
has a "racial bias" against individuals with darker skin tones.

The Blood Oxygen app is available on Apple Watch Series 6 and
newer and can "measure the oxygen level of your blood on-demand
directly from your wrist, providing you with insights into your
overall wellness," Apple explains.

New York resident Alex Morales alleges that he purchased an
Apple Watch between 2020 and 2021, and was aware that the
watch "purported to measure blood oxygen levels and he believed
it did this without regard to skin tone," according to the
lawsuit, which was filed in the Southern District of New York.

Yep, the things work by shining a light - and if you
have dark skin they won't work as well ... and are
thereby RACIST ! RACIST !! RACIST !!!

Oh, and SmartWatches/iPhones/iTablets work MUCH better
for people who can SEE ... and are therefore HORRIBLY
BIASED against the visually impaired !!! And don't
forget iTunes and the DEAF community !!!

Go for it - Apple is rich as shit, so let loose the lawyers !

SO fun when the leftists fall victim to their own pomp
and divisive laws. There's likely a lot of potential
here, rules/regs/positions they pushed through in the
60s and 70s to cover their own asses .... :-)
