Google apologizes after app mistakenly labels black people 'gorillas' - Trending - CBC News

Google has come under fire after the image-recognition feature in its Photos application mistakenly identified people with dark skin as "gorillas."

Jacky Alciné of New York City tweeted a picture of himself and a friend on Sunday that the application labelled as "gorillas," a word that also has racist connotations.

Google have so many excuses, but i just think they did it on purpose. Just like how they intentionally put country A belong to country B when it's really country A.
