Intel, the computer chip maker, has been forced to apologise for an advertisement which has been widely criticised as racist.
The ad, which was for a new generation of micro-processors, showed six black sprinters crouched in the start position in front a white man wearing a shirt and chinos in an office.
Above the image was a slogan which read: "Multiply computer performance and
maximise the power of your employees."
