Microsoft Kinect also had this issue. I know the one black engineer (that had little to do with the project) that repeatedly got pulled in to see if the test system worked with non-white people.

He left soon after.

I wonder if the company failed to give him credit, responsibility, or compensation commensurate with his value to the project?
