A bunch of folks have been telling me about this... If you're one of the millions who use Google, you might be familiar with Google Suggest, which uses an algorithm to magically figure out what you might be searching for, based on what everyone else is searching for. It's like crazy internet voodoo magic, and has often been a pretty useful searching tool for me.

So what is the deal with this: Google Suggest Thinks The Internet Is "Terrified Of Chinese People." Are there really hordes of Google users out there who are indeed terrified of Chinese people? And if there are, what exactly are they hoping to find by doing a Google search for their fear. Here's what you get when you search for it: i am extremely terrified of chinese people. Ooga booga.

UPDATE: The Google Suggest result might be referring to this Post Secret entry, but more likely, it's people searching for this ridiculous, racist post in ChristWire.org: I Am Extremely Terrified Of Chinese People. It has to be one of the most ignorant, ill-informed, fear-mongering pieces of shit writing I've ever seen on the internet. Thank you, crazy person.

UPDATE 2: I'm told that ChristWire is actually an extremely elaborate satire site. You actually could have fooled me.
