Ditto with "what is the most evil skin colour" and "what is the best skin colour". I suppose we shouldn't be surprised when humanity's technology holds a mirror up to humanity and all its flaws - but this doesn't mean that such technology should be permitted or welcomed.

why? we should forbid arbitrary stuff based on political ideas or opinions?
I think that depends on the use of the technology in question. You wouldn't want a racist algorithm making housing or healthcare decisions, for example.
I am not who to qualify an algorithm as racist or sexist or anything. If I find it negative, I will not use it. I am not going to tell others what is what or what they can use or not.
