    Crazy, especially when you click through to the link. My understanding is that the suggestions are based on what other people have searched the most for, so this shows more about the people using google than about google. But, at some point when the suggestions are so extreme, you’d think google would care.

    I tested out a few other search beginnings and found similar trouble for “black people should,” “gays should,” and “Jews should.” Very unsettling!
