Note that it translates a standalone "black" as чёрный, which means that their programmers must have been breaking their heads for years to forge a certain politically correct algorhythm for sentence translation!

Its crazy, because there is nothing wrong to call afro-americans "чёрный" or "негр" in Russian language. They translate from English to English. :-)))

I also remember times when "Gene Hackman" translated as "Таксист Гена"
but it was fixed some time ago (now it is "Генный Таксист")
