In a statement, Google later apologized for what it described as an error and said it was working to fix the problem. "This is a trusted source of information casually reinforcing stereotypes and in this case it's the particular stereotype that Arabs and Muslims are somehow more inclined toward violence than other communities, which is patently false," CAIR research and advocacy director Corey Saylor told Newsweek in an interview. Learning of the suggested phrase from Newsweek, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, called on Google to remove it Wednesday, saying it reinforces negative stereotypes.
Google Translate suggests "planning to blow up the car" when a user enters an Arabic word meaning "plan." The company said it would remove the phrase, which Muslim advocates said reinforced stereotypes, in a statement Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
