Is Google Racist?

If I was an advertiser and saw the name "Mohammed Abdul Khan" I would probably decide it was pointless trying to advertise Malt Whiskey or Pork Pies. Should I see a Bruce McKenzie I would deffo advertise Qantas Flights and Boomerang Oil. Paddy O'Reilly would not be my first choice for Condom Lubricant whereas Owen Griffiths would be sent details of our line of inflatable sheep. It is not racist, it is using common sense to target marketing.

FTFY, taking into consideration CG's experience with them ;P EDIT: Dammit, too late Other than that, I totally agree with your post. And yes, it's wrong to scan my e-mails looking for, well, stuff, but it's definitely not racist

Longer Trains
I don't get this one. Trains in India are quiet long. At least longer than ones I saw in UK and SA.

Shouldn't that be for audience in stadium? But then, that's one useless thing. Nothing is as boring as dead response from English crowd. /runs for life

May be a decade back or earlier this used to happen. I have never seen this.

That's because we have nothing to cheer.
:laugh: Your cricket test team thrashed us brutally when we came their. Andy Murray too is playing well. May be you should borrow your football crowd for cricket games.

Might be. But this does not looks like India to me. Looks like one of our neighbors if you ask me.

Out of interest how can you tell? There isn't much in the way of buildings in this pic and you can't see the Train, so I assume you can tell from the people and their clothes?
