Considering everyone will Google this now and News sites will use those pictures for that term, it'll look like in the video very soon :neyde:

No one gets the same Google results as the other you know

google is not responsible for the content it's showing you, it's merely showing you images hosted on websites best related to your search results

it's the websites hosting these images that you may deem as racist

That's because the main articles or searches for "three black teenagers" are regarding news. 

The "three" is throwing it off.

Google "black teenager" and you get regular run-of-the-mill black people. The white people that appear are criminals who attacked them.

As to why "three white teenagers" doesn't show as many news-related pictures, it's because news articles rarely use the descriptor of "white" while addressing white teenagers. They're just teenagers in that case. Blame the content of the articles for specifying race when it comes to black people.

Society IS racist at large, but things like this are easily clouded by the algorithm in use, news of this video/trend itself, etc. so its hard to be definitive and most people will easily overlook this and have it turn on them.

It's like "unprofessional hair" or w.e that one thing was showing black women with their natural hair styles.

People used the defense I'm making (about google and its algorithm) to be like "See, people don't see black women's hair as unprofessional, stop playing the race card" but it definitely existed for a long ass time before that :rip: 

Sigh :madge:

No. Let's assume that the people who run it are crazy racist even than they won't make Google deliberately racist, cause that's just bad for their business. Google shows you what's popular, they don't customize the results manually. That's why now if you write that you get the same pictures over and over and stuff related to this thing. And don't get me started on the "concerned" person who posted this on twitter and now is using the tweet to promote his snapchat...:toofunny:

Maybe because it's not noteworthy if teenagers are white on news sites. That still says a lot about society but I don't think that's googles fault

Algorithm.

Plus news articles will not say "three white teenagers attacked..." in a predominantly white society due to the fact it would be assumed they are white by it's audience.

Google page ranking is based on the weight pf each website, the most à site is visited the most it gains weight (that's the easy version)
