Another prime example of Google being racially bias. This time with white and black scientists. Its a simple Google search, nothing special yet the results are vastly different.

SS: I smell an agenda
In the U.S less than 7% of scientists are African -American. If you type “scientist” in Google then the results are completely different. I think the reason for the disparity is that if you type in “white scientist” it takes you to theories around race & racism. When the majority of U.S scientists are white, there’s really no need to include their race. Type in scientist in Google and see the results.
I get what you’re trying to say though but I don’t necessarily think it’s a bias.
People don’t refer to white scientists as white scientists, they’re just scientists. People don’t make lists about the top 10 white scientists of all time because most scientists have been white. Google can’t return results that aren’t available.
To clarify I’m not saying that either race should be specified by race just that they are, which is why google can find results for 1 and not the other.
