Warning, :opcat: content ahead.
This will be the thread for all things that are "racist" even though they really aren't.
I'll start. NAACP is pissed about new "Avoid Ghetto" app for GPS (http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/01/17/app-that-would-guide-users-away-from-high-crime-areas-proves-controversial/).
An in-development Microsoft smart phone app designed to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods is proving controversial among some minority rights groups that find the software potentially discriminatory.
The as-of-yet unnamed product is being referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app by those who are concerned with where it will guide users.
“I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens,” said Dallas NAACP President Juanita Wallace.
Wallace spent her afternoon at a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and said she felt safe there, but fears the app may project otherwise.
“Can you imagine me not being able to go to MLK Blvd. because my GPS says that’s a dangerous crime area? I can’t even imagine that,” she said.
Yes, Juanita, I can imagine that.
Microsoft says the app will use crime statistics to determine what parts of town are to be avoided. But it’s unclear where the data will come from and how it will be interpreted.
Microsoft has filed a patent for the app, but the actual product is unnamed and not available yet.
Opponents like Wallace fear it could hurt minority communities.
“It’s almost like gerrymandering,” she said. “It’s stereotyping for sure and without a doubt; I can’t emphasize enough, it’s discriminatory.
Yep, almost like gerrymandering. Like, not at all. And crime stats? What a vicious stereotype. :lol:

Would buy that feature.

But who died?

Black holes!!! :runaway:

That app would sell like crazy. Anybody ever (mistakingly) end up in the ghetto of a strange town? It sucks.

I'd love an avoid racist crackers app. I mean if the SPLC can put a map out of Klan and skinhead hangouts certainly someone can put it on an app. Should be able to add a feature that allows users to add racists to the map. I could add a certain apartment in the Carter to it.

Exactly how I'd look if I found myself in the racist Carter Mayonnaise Sandwich Projects

Would be hilarious to have an app that identified neighborhoods with demographic outliers like low education, high church attendance, and peak mayonnaise consumption/North Face purchases.

Yeah, that would be funny, but I'm not sure there's any reliable data on that stuff. Usually, people just keep track of things like murders, carjackings, etc.

sorry bro, don't keep stats on that. well, I guess they could do a "hate crimes" app.

Based on that map, the Avoid Ghetto app should work equally well to avoid "hate." Everybody wins!

Not surprised that ultra-liberal California has the most hate groups. Why do liberals have an obsession with skin color? Sad.

What is in the hearts and minds of these two people in this still frame taken from a video?

Not sure if you can avoid the entire states of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. Would be one helluva detour.

Ok, this one is just sad. Liberal refuses to accept MLK award from Paul Ryan (http://www.breitbart.tv/liberal-hate-high-school-teacher-refuses-to-accept-mlk-award-from-paul-ryan/). There could be one of these crazies teaching your kids someday. In fact, that's pretty likely.

Should totally name it the White Bread app, or the Johnson County App.
Also, it would basically blackout* most large cities.
*I think using this term could possibly be more offensive than using the app.
