The Algorithm is Racist!!

Eggs Are Going on Sale Just Months After Prices Hit Records

 So I'm on Twitter this morning and see a message  warning me that "The following media contains potentially sensitive content." This surprised me given it was a WSJ article about how the price of eggs has collapsed back down to around $1.50/dozen. I clicked "View" and the above photo popped up. 

So what exactly is "sensitive" about this photo? A black couple calmly shopping for eggs is problematic? Why exactly? Because they're NOT looting or destroying public property? 

I think Uncle Elon needs to look a little more closely at his algorithm.
