And in this case, there should probably be a separately trained group of reviewers to carefully examine these videos. Not the same group that's quickly checking over videos to see if they're pornographic, for instance.

I think most of their review ops are in Manila, PH, no? It'd take some time to get them up to speed on that...

Why do you believe that to be the case?

What am I missing here? How is the openly racist GP comment not pounded into the gray? Or flagged?

All I am saying is it takes time for things to propagate. If HQ were in PH, then things would have faster turnaround is all I'm saying.

Do you see "race" in every bit of convo. If I said white chocolate or black chocolate, do the colors auto infer race somehow? If I prefer black or white choco what does that mean? If I prefer black or white or does that mean I'm destroying consuming black or white?

Just calm down.

Yes, because "They're in the philipines... it'd take them longer" is totally the same as "black chocolate" (who says "black" chocolate anyway?)

How is their comment openly racist?

How do you know there isn't already a separately trained group of reviews whose only role is to carefully examine videos related to war crimes/terrorism/violence? I suspect there was, and Google/YouTube's senior management just decided to take a harder line on it than they should've.

That's certainly a first step, but I doubt it's a full solution. What's the phrase, "dog whistles" for phrases and keywords that only a target audience would understand?
