No, the stock footage has been used in the US already. The marketing dept of Microsoft has to launch a new campaign in Poland. Instead of using the picture of the first campaign, they decide that that is not a setting that would be commonplace in Poland (which it isnt, with less than 3 percent of the Polish population being any other color than white the odds of a Black guy and an asian guy in a Polish office is negligable), they opt for a new photoshoot. The result is picture number two, but its not a photoshop but a real picture. Is that racist?
