Quora seems to have taken a strange turn recently - their email digest is full of creepy racial questions like "do white girls find Indian men disgusting?" and "do Asian men mind if Asian girls date white men?"
I guess you can't stop such questions being asked, but they frequently appear as the top question in the digest and thus in the subject line. I deregistered off the back of that. (Come to think of it, not sure exactly when I registered in the first place!)

- mccr8 13y agoThe digest seems to be custom created based on topics that you follow. If you decided to follow the generic "Relationships" topic, you'll end up with things like that in your digest. I'd guess questions like those attract a lot of controversy, so they will have a lot of voting and answers, which their algorithms may decide indicate that it is a topic people would be interested in.
- seizethecheese 13y agoI just scanned some updates in my inbox and none had anything like this. What's going on is that these updates are custom for each user, so either you haven't used the site and are getting the least common denominator, or for some reason you've lead Quora to believe that you're interested in such questions.
- feintruled 13y agoWell, that's interesting, and even more concerning if somehow a site has profiled me to think I have an interest in such things! I haven't used the site very much though, so perhaps it is the lowest common denominator.
- balladeer 13y agoNever mind. It seems Indians[1] are using Quora more than others :-) [1] https://www.quora.com/Quora/Which-country-has-the-highest-number-of-users-on-Quora https://www.quora.com/Quora/Which-country-has-the-highest-nu...
