Google finally got to the bottom of that whole "n***a house" map search screw up, and it says the culprit is none other than YOU, if you're a racist who frequently uses those words on the Internet. Here's the explanation from a Google spokesperson, "Our ranking systems are designed to return
results that match a person's query. For Maps, this means using content about businesses and other public places from across the web." In non-egghead speak, Google Maps matches searches for "White House" with words commonly used when people discuss the White House in public Internet discussions. If their logic is accurate, there are a ton of web users calling President Obama's residence the "n***a house." Sad to say, that's probably true. Google says it's working on the"failure in our system", but adds it will take a while for the fix to roll out.
