The classifier is likely accurate enough to be useful, with many edge cases where things are mislabeled. Edge cases might be difficult to fix without causing other issues, or perhaps the technology to be more accurate is just not there yet. One of those edge cases causes a massive shitstorm on social media, where many people would love to scream "racism" at it. So we have two possibilities: 1) Put an indeterminate amount of effort to make things more accurate. It won't bring any benefit (as the current classifier is accurate enough), and if you keep mislabeling black people as monkeys even in rare cases, people will still yell on social media. Beehive indeed. 2) Hardcode gorillas out of the classifier. This solves the issue with minimal effort and causes no shitstorm, besides some annoying people grumbling that it is still racist, but with no substance to their claims. The choice, to me, is obvious.
