This is very true. I suppose a mirror isn't quite the right analogy for Google, either. It's like film, a snapshot of what it thinks life is like. And for film, there are lots of technical problems for filming black actors, the likes of which had been solved 60 years prior for white actors[0]. It's very possible that the algorithm, captures a version of reality that doesn't show people of color in a good light. And yes, these problems should be solved, and Google should use its editorial control to do the right thing. I believe it has done so, though perhaps not proactively enough. But these are hard problems, ones that are still not solved in other industries. Web search is still a young industry.
