"Try this - google “famous American white inventors” or just “American white inventors” & see what comes up in images."

Wow.... that's just insane. Google is sick.

Google is overly blamed for search results.
The results are mostly sorted by popularly.
If “american inventors” gives mostly blacks, that’s because most people searching the term choose those results.

"Google American inventor"

I have not done that yet, but let me guess- Thomas Edison, probably with no one else.

I searched for American inventor on Bing, and I’m totally happy with their results- This is at the top of the list-
http://www.bing.com/search?pc=COSP&ptag=D011816-A295234DE60&form=CONBDF&conlogo=CT3334485&q=American+inventor. They list John Moses Browning as #2. That sounds right to me! (Even tho it’s in alphabetical order...)

“The Combined Black Workforces of Google, Facebook, and Twitter Could Fit on a Single Jumbo Jet”

“We already knew that Google, Facebook, and Twitter employed relatively few African Americans, but new details show that the gap is truly striking. All three companies have disclosed their full EEO1 reports, detailed accounts of their employees’ race and gender demographics that the law requires them to submit to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The reports show that out of a combined 41,000 Twitter, Facebook, and Google employees, only 758, or 1.8 percent, are black. To put this in perspective, all of those workers could fit onto a single Airbus A380. Have a look:”

Nearly all Africans given mostly credit for inventions of white folks. Go figure.

During the Cold War, the running Soviet joke was that USRegPatOff was their most prolific inventor.

“The results are mostly sorted by popularly.”
Well, sorta (pun!).

They’re sorted by what gets Google the most ad revenue.
Young and female searchers are catered to. That’s what the advertisers want and pay for.

Technical searching is nuts on Google when a term is alternately used for a product or subject popular to the young.

Frankly I think that is naive. While "sorted by popularity" is largely true, I have a hard time believing that a liberal company staffed by mostly liberal employees would not manipulate the algorithms to favor their cause. And the censoring out of "fake news" is dangerous when liberals determine it.
