Google's job is to return the result that the user is looking for. Certainly not results that come from manipulating the algorithm.
I'm guessing that users searching for "Mexico" are not overwhelmingly interested in diatribes of racial inferiority. An algorithm that heavily returns such results is obviously broken.
- wolco 8y agoWhat about girlsinmexico? It's the most popular site related to Mexico. Should it come up first? Google's job is in no way to provide you with the results you are looking for. If showing you sites you are not interested in, keeps you engaged longer/sells more ads they will.

Wouldn't Google want to study that possible source of bias and fix it, or if not, explain it to the public or to the Googlers who saw it in the first place?
