From PC Mag: TikTok is seeing an influx of AI-generated videos showing racist stereotypes. They all appear to be generated by Google’s recently launched Veo 3 tool, which can produce detailed AI videos.
Spotted by nonprofit watchdog Media Matters, a new report shares examples of the racist clips, which were all uploaded to TikTok as individual short clips. Media Matters put together many of clips on YouTube with further context about each one.
Many of the racist stereotypes depicted are negative toward Black people in the United States, showing them as monkeys, absent parents, or criminals.

Be aware that the video below includes racist content that readers may find distressing.
