It’s also really hard to get Google to say bigoted things.

Back in the day, all you had to do was type in “Most Muslims are” and autosuggest would give you plenty of bigotry.

That’s relatively easy to fix, since autocomplete was probably working on just the most frequent queries and/or phrases. You could manually clean up the dataset.

It wasnt just Muslim bigotry, it was also anti-Semitic as well.
