I read the entire wikipedia page on racism to see why people call a bug in an experimental product feature, based on bad classifiers and data, a form of racism.

It's unfortunate. And I can see why it worries people. Because on the surface it looks like a systemic problem. But is it really?

Perhaps it is not racism that the bug exists, but failing to find, fix, or disable a feature that makes offensive classifications is racist.
