    It's probably just bad marketing because of the positions they put into the image, the black people are multiplications of a track runner and that compares to the speed of the processors and they are getting ready to start when "unleashed," while the guy is like the business guy who can "unleash" that power because he's in the middle, but the text reads "employees" and that just kinda describes it in a bad way.

    They are not bowing to the white man. They are in the 3 point stance for the beginning of a race, which implies they are speedy people. Also notice the word "Multiply" in the slogan of the ad because it seems like all 6 guys are a clone of one person.

    but the picture also can be viewed that 6 blackmen are bowing to a smug white man, its all about perception dude ;)

    Bad marketing trick I think; the initial idea is probably the fact that the runners are black, suggesting they're the best of the best and Intel has a multiple of this kind of power in their product and at the same time they place the black men (or clones of it) in their start position but in the context of the image it looks like they're "bowing" to a standing white man, suggeting the white suprecemacy. Getting this controversy, stirring tongues = more media attention.

    I guess those guys are suposed to be hurdlers (Notice the words "Leap ahead" next to the "Intel" logo.) but why do they all have to be black? Because I think they're all the same guy. The muscle structure and profile look exactly alike and it'd be cheaper for them to hire one guy as opposed to six different people. They person who thought up this idea should be fired. Barely creative and not at all appealing.
