Holy shit.
I can't even remember the last time I saw a legitimate charge of racism, and I certainly didn't expect it with something as seemingly nonsensical as "racist software." But yeah - that's obviously what this is.
Weird.

I agree completely. This isn't some SJW bullshit from tumblr, but just... Misunderstandings and machines being machines. This is legitimate accidental racism from computers because people who programmed them thought like programmers and not anthropologists.
