What do search engines want to show you?

Pictures are worth a thousand words. If you want a visual of what Big Tech thinks of white people, black people, or any people, do an image search on your preferred engine of the following terms. You will be unsurprised at the results.

I don't like to promote companies that hate me, so I will just say that the search engine I used rhymes with "luck, luck, no."

First, I typed "shoplifter." The image search shows white people stealing — white hands stuffing things into purses, a white thug in a hoodie looking shady in a store aisle, old white people stealing medicine, young white people stealing makeup. It took quite a bit of scrolling to find a non-white person shoplifting...then it was an Asian woman.

Next I typed "rioter." Apparently there has been only one riot ever in all of human history. You know which one. If you are really dedicated to scrolling down, eventually, you will find a picture of a peaceful but fiery protest...but it takes some dedication, and don't blink, because you might miss it.

Then I typed "white people." I was surprised that the images shown didn't include white robes with hoods. But over half the images were of black people, either with white people or alone.

I followed up that search with "black people." No white people appeared at all on that one.

If you type "gay people," you get a lot of images of white, male liberals acting like circus freaks. It takes quite a bit of scrolling to find an image of black gay people, or female gay people, or straight-looking gay people.

Brave is using their own search engine, but still has Google/Bing for image results.

While Micro$oft is (probably) less evil than Google, their results are often pretty crappy comparatively.
