Is Google Translate sexist or racist?
Google Translate, the best way to butcher a foreign language since sketch shows from the 1990s.
Since it launched, this tool has become an invaluable way for everyone to understand people from other countries AND hilarious videos where lyrics don’t make sense when they go back into their original language.
But has this code gone bad? And if so, why is it giving sexist or racist answers? Let's discuss!

This is the best for the algorithm... no need to read it (I've been told it's important / helpful)
Simon Caine is an English award-winning comedian, writer, author, podcaster and human based in Edinburgh Scotland. He makes a video a week, released every Sunday.
Over the last decade, he's performed all over the world, from London to NYC to Australia. His most recent show "every room becomes a panic room when you overthink enough" got 5* reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe where he sold out the run.
Previously he opened for Trevor Lock, Ben Miller and Henry Ginsberg as well as gigged on the same bill as people like Terry Alderton, Mark Dolan, Matthew Crosby and Bec Hill.
He's been featured in the Huffington Post “Tweets of the Week” feature several times and had jokes/writing appeared in The Poke and other publications. He hates writing in the third person.
