"Along the same lines as, if the only difference between two people doing the same job is their gender, and one gets paid more, then that's prejudice."

I agree BUT:

How do you know the only difference between the selection of the robots was specifically and exclusively gender? May be other robots contending for the award deserved it and they were actually better robots!?

Well, if there where better robots, then they would have won the award in the first place. the strange thing here in regards to that, is that they won the award and then CES came and said, sorry we take it back, with no real reason why.

Ah, good point. That’s really strange.
