If people are not mature enough to understand that a machine learning algorithm cannot be racist, shouldn't you go educate them instead of telling people not to offend these idiots?

Secondly what makes you think that every race is equally attractive universally? Studies have people find people of their own race more attractive. If whites are more attractive (either by their training set or user base ratings) doesn't that merely reflect the composition of their user base?

If an algorithm is based on people that are racially biased ("Studies have people find people of their own race more attractive"), the algorithm is racially biased - which can or cannot be interpreted as, believe it or not, racist.

You have very poor reading comprehension skills, or else you appended your comment to the wrong post. Almost no part of what you're saying corresponds to anything that I said.

he was reading between the lines. A little too much of course, but people get pretty race-sensitive when you throw around look comparisons of black/white/whatever people.
