Wow, Google! Just WOW! Go for it, google "Jewish" then click "images."

Google now offers sub-categories at the top of any image search. For Jewish, your choices are: Jewish symbols, Stars, Jewish people, Man, Nose, Jewish Flag.

Nose?! Really?! Well, go to image search "Jew" and you'll see why "nose" is a category.

Sometimes....

They don't make the categories. They put up the ones that are most popular, in searches and in image searches, which is even more depressing. One person making bad search categories isn't as sad as tons of people collectively searching for disappointing or bigoted things.

This came up in HOF with starting a search with "Women shouldn't" and seeing what automatically comes up as options.

You touched on it and that is that people are "collectively searching for disappointing or bigoted things." As for your example from HoF, is that a general search or image search as well?

ETA: Oh geeze! "Women shouldn't" vote, work, go to college Seriously, some people are just twisted!

guys with beards and hats?

There were some attractive women and men in there, too, but I didn't see "noses". Then again, that could be that I don't have a "nose" taboo. There are some incredibly sexy men and women with prominent noses.

I must admit, though, I'm really not into the bearded men with long hair, beards and hats. It's just me, I guess

search on Google "Jewish". That's what I usually do - highlight text, right-click and search.

I can link an image, but I'm sure you know what I mean. I wonder why that turns out such different results?

You have to go to Google's page, then search by image.


I can't figure out how to do a damn screenshot!

by using that feature. Huh. That's weird, but I'm glad you pointed it out.



That's what I do almost all of the time.

I saw some of that, but the nose thing must have passed me by, and I didn't see the guy in handcuffs?

I remember seeing the pictures of Pink and Streisand, but I don't remember the handcuffed guy at all. I didn't see the nose thing, either, but I don't find prominent noses unattractive so I may have overlooked it.

EDIT: What browser are you using? I use Chrome and Firefox depending upon circumstance. I don't have Opera or Safari so if you are using those, I probably won't be very helpful.
