Apparently if you type the n word and house on google maps the white house shows up. I though this was fake but I saw I few people that were upset and talking about it on facebook. So I tried to see if it was real. Huffingpost even talked about it Do you think it's racism, a joke or both?

If it was racism, I think it would have been "nig*er house, instead. It looks like a joke.

Well the n word is a demeaning word for black right, and so the white house appears when that is entered on to the search engine.
That would be an oxymoron.

I'm not sure oxymoron means what you think it does. It's more of a coincidence. It's probably the most searched for "house" term. Who knows what their string of related words are. The word N****** is probably linked with the words white and black.


*Edit: It might also be based on your list of personalized searched words. When I typed in N House I got Aunt Sarah's Pancake House. I love pancakes.
