Racially offensive word on Adobe Stock Images page

There is a racially offensive word on the page showing a photograph of a man from the Dominican Republic. The word is one of the 'Similar Keywords' listed on the page presumably to help people find similar images. If these words are generated by an algorithm (perhaps from searches by users) why isn't Adobe checking that offensive words are not getting in?

The 'N-word' is disgusting and offensive and Adobe should remove it at once and correct its systems and checking procedures.

Great that you have picked this up quickly. It doesn't sit well with Adobe's equality ethics and I am sure you will get it corrected asap.
