SAN FRANCISCO — Google image searches for "three black teenagers" and "three white teenagers" get very different results, raising troubling questions about how racial bias in society and the media is reflected online.

Kabir Alli, an 18-year-old graduating senior from Clover Hill High School in Midlothian, Va., posted a video clip on Twitter this week of a Google image search for "three black teenagers" which turned up an array of police mugshots. He and friends then searched for "three white teenagers," and found groups of smiling young people.

"I had actually heard about this search from one of my friends and just wanted to see everything for myself. I didn't think it would actually be true," Alli told USA TODAY. "When I saw the results I was nothing short of shocked."
No, it exposes the unfortunate reality that most articles and results associated with "three black teenagers" are references to crimes. Calling a conspiracy might get you knighted for by a complicit media, but it won't solve the problem in the long run.

If you search for "three african teenagers" the results are more favorable.

If you're offended by music and surfing, I'd advise against Googling "three Pacific Islander teenagers".

Google is obviously racist. Google mudshark and see what happens.

Always looking to be offended or try to find racism where there is none.

"I understand it's all just an algorithm based on most visited pages but Google should be able to have more control over something like that," Alli said.


In other words, censor it because it hurt my feelings.

This is what the Democrats are advocating and you see it paying off with the kids fresh out of the brainwashing (public education). SJW's everywhere, rioting everywhere - all over hurt feelings.

People in this world will dislike each other for any number of reasons. Some ignorant people will dislike you solely because of your skin color.

Get the frick over it and stop being a little offended bitch at every turn. Life is much more enjoyable that way.
