WTF gmail!?

Check out this link that appeared at the top of my gmail screen this morning:


If you can't read that small it says, "Looking for Korean Eyelid Surgery? See Korean Eyelid Surgery. And it links to here. Which is not even a real site; just an excuse for a quick, racist shot at Korean people? I don't get it. Any body have any insight?

Google is racism neutral. Since those advertisements work based off of conversations in your mailbox, or reader items, more likely than not either we talked about Aaron being Korean or somehow Korea was mentioned. The link is spam, but it is spam to learn more about a very common surgery among Koreans. So, uh, no racism there. If anything, it just shows that Google is not yet smart enough to figure out that you're not a young Korean woman looking to westernize your facial features. Boo on Google!
