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

i do not believe that google actually suggests the search queries, rather they most likely suggest what is common for most people to search given the words you already typed.

it’s odd that there is no “why do hispanics like…”
unless you assume all hispanics are mexican of course.
maybe it isn’t google that’s racist….

‘Why do mexicans IMMIGRATE to the us?’
Wrong word! Shows the intelligence of people who searched for that.

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.
Have fun,

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 !!!

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.

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)
oooh and maxman needs to get laid with a real vagina. but not before u have grammar and spell checked my post young man! 🙂

To answer the query “why do white people like Wayne Brady”? White people love Wayne Brady, because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X” (Comedy Central series Chappelle’s Show, cast member Paul Mooney mocked Brady in his “Negrodamus” sketch) lmfao
