"If you're talking about this picture, it is tagged as "white" because of the background colour."
As usual, Occam's Razor applies here. Just imagine for a second that Google sent out a specific instruction to employees that they wanted to alter the algorithm so that a search for "white american family" returns mixed-race couples. Imagine the number of employees that would see a code commit like that, or otherwise be involved in the decision. Do you really think that not a single person would have blown the whistle?

- untog 7y agoHe hasn't actually presented any meaningful evidence and is a kook that believes in QAnon. So excuse me if I'm more than a little dubious of his claims. https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-okeefes-google-whistleblower-loves-qanon-accused-zionists-of-running-the-government https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-okeefes-google-whistlebl...

- eclipxe 7y agoThe 950 pages were posted to Project Veritas. I read each single doc. It was a load of nothing. Not a single piece of evidence that points to his claims.
- untog 7y agoHe handed them to Project Veritas, which is maybe even more of a joke than he is. Have you actually read any of the documents are you relying on right wing media to interpret them for you?
- eclipxe 7y agoI read all of the docs. Every last one of them. There is nothing there. This whole thing is ridiculous.
