Google Is Perpetuating Racist Stereotypes About Oakland In Its Search Results Pages
Google Is Perpetuating Racist Stereotypes About Oakland In Its Search Results Pages - Video
If I happen to type Oakland News Now on Google, a list of questions on the first page of results ask questions that are racist: Is Oakland predominantly black? Is Oakland safe now? What percentage of Oakland California is black? Is Oakland safer than San Francisco And if I type just plain Oakland as a search term, I get Is Oakland a dangerous city? Is it safe to go to Oakland? What is Oakland known for? How bad is crime in Oakland? On the whole, I have to ask who is asking these questions? Is Google representing what from my experience has been the view of a healthy number of white folks who live in San Francisco? Whatever the reason - I don’t care - this must stop. Google should not be developing cyber institutional racism but that is what it is doing. Stop. Stay tuned.
