“White People Stole my Car” is Big on Google is it Real or Fake
This could be a prank. We’ve checked and it does not work.
There were few results yielded by this popular search and most links are not relevant or lead to malware. The screenshot explains why the phrase was so popular on Google. As the screenshot above implies, Googling the term “white people stole my car” results in the search engine asking if black people stole my car. This looks very bad for Google.
But is it real or fake? Google does not correct the phrase in a racially insensitive way, when I checked. And while it does appear that at one time Google did, it’s entirely possible and plausible that someone misspelled “black people stole my car,” got the correction shown, and altered the search text as a prank.
I tried it again and doesn’t work but I’m thinking it could purposly try and get people to click on malware websites.
