This is an interesting response to the problem. The problem being that the search "Jew" results in a prominent link to an anti-semetic page. This caused outrage, and a giant petition drive (when it was expressed by someone at Google that they would take the link out if a certain number of people signed against it). It is a tight spot for Google -- they don't want to be responsible for the results of queries, they want it automated, and to respond based on subjective (rather than legal) consideration would be a pandora's box. I think this solution is in pretty good taste.
