A liberal journalist complained to Google on Tuesday that when she searches \u201cBoston\u2019s black neighborhoods\u201d the \u201cfirst result that pops up is a list of Boston\u2019s \u2018worst\u2019 neighborhoods.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo I do a @Google search for \u2018Boston\u2019s black neighborhoods\u2019 and the 1st result that pops up is a list of Boston\u2019s \u2018worst\u2019 neighborhoods,\u201d The Trace\u2019s Jennifer Mascia tweeted. \u201cHow does that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

So I do a @Google<\/a> search for “Boston’s black neighborhoods” and the 1st result that pops up is a list of Boston’s “worst” neighborhoods. How does that happen? pic.twitter.com\/RUaFgMcwNR<\/a><\/p>\n

Mascia also complained about results in the \u201cPeople also ask\u201d box:<\/p>\n

The next results aren’t much better: “Where should I not live in Boston?” “What are bad areas of Boston?” 🤔 WTF? pic.twitter.com\/xwXmI6fEzp<\/a><\/p>\n

Google\u2019s public search liaison Danny Sullivan responded apologizing for the search results and said \u201cyou should find that particular featured snippet now removed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apologies for this, and you should find that particular featured snippet now removed. The page was strong on the aspect of “boston neighborhoods” generally and likely seemed more list-like than other pages in the results, so got automatically picked as a featured snippet\u2026<\/p>\n

Thanks Danny Boy! You\u2019re brave code manipulation just made those Boston neighborhoods safe for Jennifer to walk around alone at night!<\/p>\n

While Roadsnacks.net\u2019s \u201cThese Are The 5 Worst Boston Neighborhoods For 2018\u201d was the top result as a result of the \u201cfeatured snippet\u201d before this liberal journalist complained, when I searched earlier Friday morning it was fourth:<\/p>\n
