That sort of bias in such a piece of software seems odd, but I suppose it's understandable as it was created by people who probably have such bias.

Amazon seems to have done similar things with their Echo (Alexa) personal assistant, as far as restricting the kinds of things it will say/do.  One example: One of the 'skills' I found for it is called Simon Says - If you say "Alexa, Simon Says .....", it will repeat back what you said.  Several years ago, I tried that with one of the Simpsons phone call pranks they used with the bartender where they got him to repeat "Hey everybody, I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a bit butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt."  At the time (a few years ago), the Alexa repeated that back; however, I had tried that more recently, and it just cancelled out after I said "Simon Says" with that phrase.
