Why Are?.. – Presented By Google [PICTURES]

Artem Russakovskii — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:39:00 +0000

Recently, I decided to conduct a Google experiment and write down what the search engines suggests for the phrase "why are" followed by all kinds of nationalities, races, and localities (alright, "recently" seems to be last March, as evident from the Google theme, but I only decided to post this now).

I did this just for fun and found most of the results funny, some hilarious, and some offensive and controversial.

However, all of them have a reason for being there – statistics. It's what people search for. The cream of the crop. Stereotypes, hilarities, it's all here.

If you can, please don't take them too close to heart. In fact, if you're a righteous conservative thinking of lecturing me, do me a favor and close this page now.

So here goes.

Why Are?..

"Why are canadians"

Afraid of the dark? – I didn't know that, thanks Google.

"Why are brazilian"

Agreed.

"Why are swedish"

Also agreed.

"Why are irish"

Heh.

"Why are palestinians"

"Why are israeli"

Another

And the women… true again.

"Why are mexican"

Ouch.

"Why are hawaiians"

I can think of a few reasons.

"Why are germans"

I can attest to the rude part.

"Why are italians"

We've all seen the movies.

"Why are japanese"

Have you seen a non-weird Japanese video?

"Why are chinese"

The truth is there somewhere.

"Why are russians"

Very observational.

"Why are koreans"

Starcraft – so true.

"Why are british"

This is hilarious.

"Why are spanish"

100% correct.

"Why are polish"

This one was frankly news to me. Poor Polish people.

"Why are indians"

Indians are afraid of dogs?

"Why are armenians"

I've never seen a non-hairy Armenian.

And something more generic, without comments.

"Why are white"

"Why are black"

"Why are asians"

And something more local.

"Why are new yorkers"

"Why are texans"

Of course I saved the best for last:

"Why are americans"

Sarah Palin's Intelligence

I was just listening to the VP debate from the other day, the one so successfully punned by SNL, and was convinced further, beyond a reasonable doubt, how clueless, primitive, and short-minded Palin is. She is just a puppet in McCain's senile hands – I cannot believe almost half of America is unable to see that. McCain is not a Maverick and she is not a Maverick by far. I just cannot believe she is even running. McCain = Bush. Anyway, before I get fueled up too much and smash my keyboard, here is my point:

If there is a definitive way that I have devised of telling if a person is intelligent or not is this: if you say nucELar, you are not intelligent. Case in point: the Dubya. Now, when Palin was blabbing about Iran (Eye-ran is the wrong pronunciation by the way), she mentioned these nucELar weapons at least 5 times. So if you still think Palin is worthy of a VP spot, even after this incredibly deep scientific analysis, then there is no reasonable way to argue with you.

By the way, Biden rocks and completely dominates Palin's tiny brain. She just cannot scramble her notes fast enough but man, can she dodge those questions and switch topics or what? Oh and Biden knows how to spell nuclear too.

Here is the full debate video, for reference.

P.S. Oh, and I realized who Palin reminds me of (mentally):
