    If that's on Family filter or Safe Search it seems fine to me. If not, then it's a private firm that can edit however they want.

    You can always go to 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica to get your double n's on.

    No real surprise here when you take into account the race of the Google founders. The humiliation these bright young scholars have endured is similar to a modern day lynching.

    Don't those image-search engines just use some kind of algorithm to look for certain light/dark/color patterns to match the searches? It's not like it was a deliberate thing, I don't think.

    That being said... ouch.

    They didn't make the algorithm good enough. But the problem is apparently they didn't test it well enough.

    Why didn't the graduation one say Gorilla

    I'm curious of what the algorithm of the program is that identifies a picture as a Gorilla lol

    It might have been her changing up her mouth/lips area that more resembles that bulbus portion of a gorilla face....plus her hair is jacked:eek:

    I suppose it is due to the dark black hair surrounding her face.

    I'm curious if there is any evidence that this is a common occurrence with their photo tag algorithm, or it just happened to hit a corner case on this particular photograph.

    It's also bad grammar.

    Several of those should be singular.

    On judgement day, white people are going to be screwed. Black folk on the other hand will not be scheduled for termination.

    How do you know a white person wrote the algorithm?

    I'm thinking an Indian person wrote that. White folks are too busy stealing money from banks and people.
