If your first reaction to this is “Wow, people are racist,” I’d like to raise two points: first, that these are examples of ignorance, not racism; second, that each person who typed one of these phrases into Google was immediately presented with a screen full of information. When I was a kid, I remember wondering why my black friend had white palms, and why my Indian friend often smelled so strongly. If Google had been around at the time, I would have typed in these queries too, and would discovered the existence of melanin and curry. Nothing dispels ignorance like knowledge.
