New Maps Startup (Mapbox) calls NYC "Jewtropolis"

Tech Crunch

Mapbox, the mapping startup that competes with the likes of Google Maps and Here to power location services on apps like Snapchat and Foursquare, says that a version of its New York map calling the city ‘Jewtropolis’ was an act of human vandalism that has now been removed across the hundreds of apps that pull in Mapbox data and are used by over 400 million people.
“This is now 100 percent fixed and should have never happened. It’s disgusting,” Mapbox CEO and founder Eric Gundersen told TechCrunch. He says that Mapbox has built a large system that uses both AI and human checks to look out for vandalism. “We’re constantly scanning for this, and it’s an error on our part [to have missed it].”
The issue of the mis-named map using the anti-Semitic slur came to light earlier today, with a number of people flagging the glitch on social media and the issue also getting picked up by multiple media outlets.
Gundersen said that the company is still trying to figure out what specifically happened here (we’ll update as we learn more).

I would use this if they added other parody names throughout the country. I think it would be awesome.

Liberals dislike the jews so much, it's almost as if the Jews have Stockholm syndrome.
Obama was as shitty as you could get to Jewish lobbyist and Israel.

What would Chicago's name be?
Hoover, AL (Birmingham suburb) has a few Hispanics and has been called "Guadala-hoover" at times.

Look - I'm not dense enough to argue that this is not controversial or nefarious, but this is getting a little cavalier with the English language, no?

If they had called it Hymietown, at least they could have blamed Jesse Jackson.

I would love to see other cities nicknames fwiw, almost GTA style.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets their burka up their arse about Dearbornistan’s nickname.

Lower Manhattan is Jewtropolis?
I'd be more concerned at the lack of accuracy than name.
ETA: it looks like it may be the financial district so maybe it holds some water.

Who knew calling Jews Jews would be offensive. I remember a few years back the left tried to push the notion of calling Mexicans Mexicans as offensive

Not really sure how that's a slur...Posted on 8/30/18 at 12:05 pm to NYNolaguy1
How does this app work? This would be an awesome OT project. Even better if the autists go to town on it.
