I think we've really lost track of context here. The thread began when it was pointed out that it wasn't just any corporation to which we handed so much power over us, it was a corporation dominated by white men. The reason I believe this is unhelpful, confusing, and irrelevant, is that I believe that Google is actually one of the least racist powerful institutions on Earth, throughout both time and space. Don't get me wrong, I hate Google as much as any other ad-powered information harvesting giant, but they're a company that literally won't shut up about Black voices and women in tech. Which, more power to them for that! I think it's basically cynical from an executive's perspective, but cynical people can do good, so whatever. But anyway, the point is I don't think race is relevant at all in the conversation about how Google has too much power. They use that power for evil quite often, but when they use it for good, the good is often trying to solve racism. Is it really helpful to point out how white they are?
