Ok I’ll bite: why?

like

It's not about the dataset having beliefs.. it's about how it is received.. it sure can evoke a reaction from an audience if it is misinterpreted which it definitely gives the opportunity to do so...

What’s the point in posting this if you aren’t going to cite why?

like

@OP no one here is denying it, but more details/summary are appreciated if you’re trying to start a discussion.

Is it inherently racist, or can it be used to teach algorithmic bias in a learning setting?

I'm not sure how a dataset can be racist, but they can have bias that needs awareness.

Yeah OP, I'm not going to waste my time googling to track down this dataset. Please provide specific examples or understand that people will not engage how you want
