Twitter offered little in the way of explanation, pointing out only that its search algorithms may reflect what is happening on the platform.

US President Donald Trump appears as the first result of suggested accounts when users type"racist" into Twitter's people search, it emerged Wednesday.

Analysts said the news suggests Trump opponents, more than critics of any other Twitter account, have been labeling him as racist, although the social media giant itself did not confirm this was the case. Greg Sterling, a contributing editor at the website Search Engine Land, said the result suggests that"so many people are using the words 'racist' or 'racism' to respond to or describe Donald Trump, or there's a concerted effort to associate Trump's account with those terms."
