Is Google Racist?

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?

The clothing is different. Though we do wear these kind of clothes but you will never find so many people wearing this.

I was referring to club football. English football team is not comparable with other top football playing nations.

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

Yes that and frequency of trains is really great here considering the size of country. Buying power of people has increased (bank loans may be a reason) so there are huge number of vehicles.

Baked potato with beans.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
You can teach us that. But very soon we will come up with Indian version of it. Which will taste better at least to us.

After the furore of there 'racist' doodle[^]. They are now trying to say that Google is racially profiling names in e-mails[^] in order to target their advertising more efficiently. Am I alone in failing to see what is racist about this? The only thing that I can see that is remotely wrong with this is the fact that they scan your e-mails in the first place. I don't see how using someone's name to determine they are French say, and then showing them adverts for crossiants and Baguettes, or warm Beer and Bacon for an Englishmen any more wrong than any of the other criteria they use when selecting targeted advertisements. Anyone see this different?

The racist stereo-type is that black people only eat Fried Chicken and Water Melon. Didn't realise this was only prevalent in English speaking countries, although I assume it originated in the States.

This was only an assumption, I was expecting something linked to the language, not to the country ( because of a play-on-words or something). OK, fried chicken and water melon can definitely not be a stereotype over here.

That's why I ditched Gmail. I was hoping they would try to sell me Slivovitz[^] based on my name and the subset of Unicode characters I use to write my e-mails, but no such luck :(
