I'm not convinced "white couple" showing interracial couples is a political move, or even on purpose.
I think it simply is because very few people would describe in text a white couple as a "white couple" and not just as a "couple". In a majority white culture there is no reason to specify skin colour when both are white. It's just a couple.
On the contrary, I think it would be very normal to write "black and white couple" for an interracial couple, and because "black and white" also contains "white" thus those images would show up when you search for "white couple".
This is easy to verify by looking for the word "white" around the images Google returns for "white couple", and they are definitely there - often in the image title itself.
However, if you just search for "couple" then you'll find what you are looking for. At least on my google 9 out of 10 results are a white couple.
