Google’s romantic view of BNP website

You have to hand it to Google Ads - they can't be accused of discrimination. Visitors to GreenArrow.com, the bloggers' forum for the far-right British National Party, have been surprised in recent days to discover a series of full-colour banner ads for non-white dating agencies.

Inter-Racial Romances.com and Muslima - "a truly Muslim marriage and matrimonial service" - are both being plugged on the BNP forum - despite the party's strong line against inter-racial marriage.

Google Ads evidently decided that because of the multiple uses of words such as Muslim and Arab the site was 'relevant' to its clients' interests.

"I thought I was on the wrong forum," wrote one visitor. Another, Sarah, Maid of Albion, wrote: "I do find it rather offensive given that the picture clearly shows an Asian man and a Caucasian woman."
