>The study, published in the Journal of Consumer Culture, appears to show that Yelp reviewers—at least those in New York—tend to be much more critical of minority owned businesses. Authored at CUNY by Sharon Zurkin, Scarlett Lindeman, and Laurie Hurson, it looked at over 7,000 Yelp reviews of trendier restaurants in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Greenpoint neighborhoods of Brooklyn that have opened in the past ten years, as well as focusing on the top ten best-reviewed restaurants in both locations. They found 1056 reviews that explicitly mentioned the neighborhood—720 of which were focused in the historically-black Bed-Stuy, compared to 336 in the traditionally Polish Greenpoint.
>The study didn’t just find a neighborhood mention disparity, though—it also found that when looking at the two neighborhoods’ “ethnic” restaurants, Greenpoint’s tended to be described as “authentic” and “cozy,” while Bed-Stuy’s tend to be described using words like “dangerous,” “hood,” “ghetto,” and “sketchy.” The authors came to the conclusion that reviewers were concerned about preserving Greenpoint’s ethnic white restaurants, but didn’t really care about Bed-Stuy’s.
How do we fix racist reviews and bias on yelp?

No.

We're all the same inside so that only leaves racism.
Notice how they call the black neighborhood "historically" black, as if blacks have been there since the beginning of America.
Then notice how they refer to the Polish neighborhood as "traditionally" Polish, meaning that it's a racist and exclusive community that is so evil everyone hates niggers there.
>Look at "ethnic" restaurants in two neighborhoods
>ONLY two
>Do not actually divulge the ownership of any of the restaurants, instead use demographics of the public
>The divide between the two is massive
>Instead of drawing the conclusion from the study that Bed-Stuy is producing some shit ass restaurants and creating a further study to determine commonalities, you instead automatically assume it's about the race of the owner
Nice research

WHAT THE GOD DAMN FUCK!
New York!?!
That means whites are the fucking minority yet they act like these precious brown fucks are.
God damn it.
>Internet reviews warn other customers about places that are "dangerous", "hood", and "ghetto", possibly saving someone from bodily harm or robbery

well they're obviously not Jewish ones then

This.
I bet they would come to the conclusion that rating any store 1 star because it's in a fucking shitty ghetto and you're literally unsafe walking in, is about racism.
If you're not risking your life to go into the ghetto to rate a pizza place 5 stars you are racist.
and yet no one ever attacks yahoo news comment sections. how do they keep getting away with it?
>warning people away from dangerous areas
>supporting safer Polish area
>acting like this a bad thing
Thanks, Yelp-reviewers, for providing an important community service.

You know, a proper study might have involved actually visiting the locations being reviewed. Is it inconceivable that a restaurant in a poor black area might legitimately be described as "ghetto" and "sketchy"?

So Bed-Stuy is simultaneously glorified for being dangerous in black music, with living there giving street cred, but you're supposed to recommend businesses there without mentioning the acknowledged dangers?
>>55563342
Cant steer away the blacks source of entertainment. Gotta have some white people to beat, rob, and murder.
>>55562103
Are you telling me there are black people in ghettos? You must be insane.
So is there a reliable way to discern the race of the person leaving the messages on yelp?
What if it's all mudshits shitting on other mudshits?
Oh I guess that's still whitey's fault, because reasons.
When will leftists actually tackle the problems with blacks and their culture instead of convering them up? Dipshits think forcing unqualified blacks into universities will somehow solve whatever systemic problems they have. The end result is the creation of "ethnic studies" and other pseudoscientific horseshit to house the unqualified blacks. It isn't like they're doing quantumn physics, is it?
>A framing analysis of 1056 reviews that mention the neighborhood indicates that most Yelp reviewers feel positive about the White neighborhood, where they consider the traditional Polish restaurants “authentic” and “cozy,” while they feel negative about the Black neighborhood, which they criticize for a dearth of dining options and an atmosphere of dirt and danger.
Are they implying that conditions at the two restaurants are the same, but racial bias is causing the reviewers to describe them differently? As in, what is "dirt and danger" at the black restaurant is "cozy and authentic" at the Polish one?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the Polish restaurant is probably clean, has good service, people don't get shot there, and drugs aren't being dealt in the parking lot.
>>55565417
>drugs aren't being dealt in the parking lot.
It's NYC, drugs are dealt in every paring lot. You even have to pay a selling drugs in the parking lot tax so that the mayor can get some of that sweet dough.
