Google apologizes, search of "N-word house" and clicking on map shows the White House.

Searching For The N-Word On Google Maps Pulls Up The White House And Other Minority Institutions

 

Searching for racist keywords brings up things like the White House as well as historically black institutions in Google Maps.

 

The Huffington Post and other media outlets reported yesterday that typing in “nigga house” in Google Maps sends users to the White House. However, searching for “n***** king” also leads to the White House and typing in “n*****” or “nigga” pulls up other institutions that are predominately African American or associated with ethnic minorities.

 

Bomani X, a recent graduate of Howard University, tweeted this new discovery today while searching for the N word and associated keywords near his alma mater.

One would think Google, with its technological wherewithal (particularly in the area of search) would have algorithms in place to detect this sort of thing. Wonder if searching "shitilly-designed product" would pull up the Google home page.

it's worse than in 2012 when after googling "totally wrong" and clicking images thousands of pics of Romney would appear.

 

Gentlemen, do the test I wonder when are they going to fix it.
