“According to Alcine’s Twitter feed, the problem remained in place even after the supposed fix had been implemented. Ultimately, Google applied a secondary solution, reworking the system so that it wouldn’t tie photos to the “Gorilla” tag at all.”

Well, we better delete black people from the database as well hadn’t we? I mean it could screw up in the other direction could it not? Mislabeling animals as people?
Racism is so stupid.
If Google’s image thing mislabeled me as a saltine because I’m a pale pasty nerd, I doubt that would be news.
I swear all of you enjoy racism. It’s like some kind of hobby when it isn’t a tool.
Seriously, this is the solution. Make race officially a non-existent quantity. Don’t ask about it in any official context. Make it as officially meaningless as you favorite cartoon character.
