telegraph.co.uk— Google today refused to remove a racist caricature of Michelle Obama that was the first result presented to users of its search engine.

There's no way that picture should come up near the top of a search for "Michelle Obama". "Michelle Obama monkey", sure. But not just her name. It's an error in Google's search, and they should fix it, as they do all the time for plenty of other issues when unrelated s**t turns up at the top.
Hey racist f**ktards, can you read? Nobody is asking Google to remove the photo from the index. We are saying it shouldn't turn up under an image search for "Michelle Obama". I know many of you racist f**ktards think a picture of a monkey should be at the top of the list when someone searches a black person's name, but most people - I mean the non-racists - aren't actually looking for pictures of monkeys when they type in any person's name. But don't worry, nobody is taking away your right to be racists and say racist things or search for racist pictures. We're just asking that you remember to type in "monkey" after Michelle Obama's name when you want to find the monkey picture. I know that's an extra step for you, but can you racist f**ktards remember to do that? Yes? Fantastic. Glad we can all agree.
Where to then? Remove naked pics of women because some deem it sexist? Or also removing caricatures of muslims, Irish, English, and other non-Michelle Obama's? Is this tantamount to other fascist countries where the internet is censored if it seems derogatory to the regime? But this time it's the people censoring people. Who needs dictators when you have citizens perfectly willing to dictate what you should or should not see or hear.
