Google ‘Suggests’ Stereotypes

By Monty On November 14, 2008 Under Google, Just for fun

I noticed something weird on Google Suggest. I was searching something with “Why do…” and I landed up with this article.

Why do white people smell like wet dogs when they come out of the rain is the name of a book, one that is selling fairly well on Amazon, hence the suggestion. Though, honestly you’re grasping at straws here trying to make a big issue of a non-issue. Was is a slow day and you couldn’t find anything actually worthwhile to blog about?

The way the suggest feature works is that Google indexes the most popular searches that go through the engine. Google suggests these popular searches because due to their popularity it’s likely to be what you were going to type in.

So, in closing…grow up. Just because you’re jealous of large corporations that make oodles of money is no reason to attempt to slander them with moronic articles that only go to show that you have no idea how the technology you’re being accusatory towards actually works.

Monty

November 14, 2008

Haha! Not really.. I blogged this because I thought this was something interesting my readers would love to read.. and this article also displays how search engines function and why are tags important :) Thanks for your comments..

Anon

November 15, 2008

It’s ironic that Retoru’s the one making a big deal about this. Where in the hell did you get the idea he was trying to “slander them” by posting this. I think he was aware of what a search suggestion is. I think your the one that needs to grow up, Retoru.

Monty

November 15, 2008

Thanks Anon! :)

Maxman

November 15, 2008

Yeah, the point is these are the searches that the majority of the people are looking for which is interesting. I don’t think he was implying that Google was making stereotypical search suggestions based on race.

I have to agree with you guys. Retoru, I didn’t feel as though Monty was doing any slandering at all here – just pointing out something about Google suggest. You’re the one that seems inflammatory in this case by suggesting, in a rather rude manner, that he was doing otherwise.

The truth is, google isnt “suggesting” these things because it has some sort of mind, the results are based on what other people have written on the web, duh. So, really, google is reflecting that many people who use the web have written rascist or stereotypical comments that begin with the phrase you suggest. It is a comment on human nature, though, and a sad one.

Monty

November 15, 2008

Good Point anomalon! So the people are rascist and not Google! :D

November 15, 2008

“I blogged this because I thought this was something interesting my readers would love to read” Be honest. You wrote this because you thought it was racially stereotypical. And as far as “your readers” are concerned, the only reason this article has so many replies compared to your other articles is because it is Stumbled. Otherwise, it would have zero comments like the rest! You have too much negative time on your hands.

Monty

November 15, 2008

Mind your language BigG. Maybe your just jealous coz your sites don’t get good traffic from Stumble? or your articles aren’t stumbled? Poor you!

Cell

November 16, 2008

I think it’s funny how many people consider what time is negative, what things are racial. It’s called an open mind and whether it was to post racially embarrassing material or to point out an interesting fact about how humans think…it’s just great and I love it. To everybody else who just want’s to say this taints their brains with negative thoughts, go f*ck yourselves, seriously. You can’t just live your lives like everything is perfect. This is the internet, if you don’t like it then I’ll gladly take that computer of yours off your hands.

BigG and Retoru just have sand in their vaginas because for whatever reason they dog and rip on your (awesome, by the way) article to prove to the world (read: small section of this vast internet) that their minds are superior to yours. Which isn’t true. Keep up the good work.

Yes I stumbled this, but I only read it because I actually found it funny.. Who cares if he only gets traffic due to StumbleUpon.. Isn’t that the point of StumbleUpon? To find things you normally wouldn’t find or be able to find.. or even think of looking at? Hence broadening your internet experience?

I thought it was funny, and sent it to some other friends who also thought it was funny.. it is random stuff like this on the web that I love..

I find it interesting that the list mostly play on negative stereotypes, for example, there is no questions such as why do young men and women fall in love, or have gorgeous hair. I find it funny yes, but also sad on many levels…at first I thougth it was fake…

These are not so much stereotypes by Google, but an aggregate of common stereotype searches made by real people. Is just goes to show you how backwards and bigoted we truly are.

Thanks Guys ! :D

[...] Google is Racist – Google “Suggestions” are pretty funny. [...]

Maybe because the phrase “why do ____ people” guarantees stereotypes. What would you possibly be searching for with that phrase? Duh.

Haha I just found another way to kill time! I never saw the enterrtainment potential in google suggest before, now I can see hours of fun! Interestingly, after one of those comment about “Why does obama”, which brings up a lot of suggestions, I put in “Why does Bush” and there is only one suggestion! ANd it is, oddly “why does bush act so macho?” rofl.

This was funny. It would be more interesting to know what the results would have been using a standardized set of questions.
However, this is still funny. I think white people should ask why all black people look the same.

Firebird

November 25, 2008

The stats of how many pages for each query would be a lot more accurate if the query used quotation marks. Most of these reults are accidental as all the words are fairly common. For instance I put “why do men like virgins” in quotes and the number of pages dropped from over a million down to 9 !!!

BrianH1988- LOL!

November 25, 2008

Wow! So much has been said that I can’t truly add anything to this. But I agree with almost all the comments except for the rude ones. Retoru totally needs to take a chill pill. It’s lame when someone ruins someone’s good work by calling it slander, which isn’t even the correct word… Anyway, thank you for posting this to your blog! Interesting and funny at the same time! Many thanks to all the people who commented and left something more here. You people should be proud of yourselves as well. Except for the few negative comments. Those who posted the negatives ones should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!

If you know how this :function” of google worked you would know that it’s based on what everyone else puts in the engine. So, basically, we’re all racist fucktards.

lexy

November 25, 2008

It’s funny realising how many people Google asking why the opposite sex is attracted to certain qualities. Do they not realise everyone is unique ?! I bet these people don’t stop to think why they’re attracted to certain qualities other people possess either. I honestly hope they did not think Google would provide “The Answer!”.

And as for Google bringing up suggestions for the first 4 entries, it’s funny that people think it’s blatant racism. Most of them are questions which we have all thought of at some stage in our life. There is a difference to typing questions into Google and yelling hateful abuse at a stranger in the street.

@ Maxman says: “I don’t think he was implying that Google was making stereotypical search suggestions based on race. ”
You are correct, Monty did not imply that Google was making stereotypical search suggestions; actually, Monty *said* Google’s making stereotypical search suggestions. Top of the page, go look- we’ll wait. “Google Suggests Stereotypes” says the headline over a list of racist stereotypes.

@ Rational says: “He wasn’t makign an attack against google.”
Assuming you meant to say “He wasn’t making an attack against google”, and assuming that, if you’d said what you meant to say, you would have meant to say “He wasn’t attacking Google”, well, yes, he was. Monty conducts searches using partial query strings that are unavoidably racist and posts the results under a headline stating that Google itself Suggests Stereotypes. No, Monty, it doesn’t. Google accepts racist search strings as legitimate queries. That’s all Google does, the rest is up to you.

@lexy says: “There is a difference to typing questions into Google and yelling hateful abuse at a stranger in the street. ” Differences, lexy, lie *between* things (not “to” them), and there is none between hollering “Craker-ho” at someone and believing all white women are prostitutes so completely you go to Google seeking validation. Either way you’re a racist moron. Either way you should be put to sleep.

And Monty- please note the careful use of “your” and “you’re”. “Your” is used when discussing something that belongs to the person with whom you are chatting (”This is your crap blog, isn’t it, Monty?”), “You’re” is actually a contraction of the words “you” and “are”, and is often used to make a statement about the other person (”You’re really a moron if you actually believe ‘this article also displays how search engines function and why are tags important’ “.) (I’m pretending “Can You’ll hear me?” doesn’t exist.)

But people, above all else, no matter what, absolute top priority: your invited to take a moment of you’re time and sign up for the RSS or Stumble this or whatever the hell Monty’s turned into a whore for now. Please? Then get back to you’re regularly scheduled life.

i read this and laughed. i didnt think it was an attack on anything; just a random amusing observation. the internet is full of tools that do funny things. heard of googlism?

how is it racist to type a query anyway? however its phrased someone wants to know the answer. i might have been concerned if it said “why do men take so long to die when you cut off their balls and bleed them to death”. too many people jump on the “‘oooh you’re being racist” bandwaggon these days. get it into perspective.

monty u shoulda included every conceivable race, colour and creed. im sure there’s someone out there who is offended that ‘their sort’ weren’t included (lol)
