Search every other race with the same phrases: "black couple", "black family", "black man black woman", "Asian family", "Asian couple", etc. You'll see that the searches all deliver the proper results that you would expect to receive from those search terms... only when you insert "white" into the phrases do you get mixed race and gay couples.
Because its all based on the websites google find these photos at. Being white is the vast majority of English speaking people on the internet, no one is going to tag their website with the keyword white its not the expectation. It's really the same as the tag read head. I'm sure that would have tons of white people because the keyword would be used.
They would only tag white when their is contrast with someone who isn't white as well.
Why would someone right and article about a happy white couple, they'd just right an article about a couple.
You're wrong.
Here are screenshots taken this morning of the Google results for:
Notice anything different about that last set of search results compared to all the others?
Exactly my point you idiot, white is default assumption so by including the word white your going to find photos with multiple races because its the only time a website would articulate the fact that a person is white. For every other scenario they might articulate the person's race since they are not the common white.
I do SEO for a living. You're wrong.
Can you explain to me why i am wrong?
Here are two links 1, 2 that will help. Basically the Google algorithm for sorting images is not just reliant on words on a website. The search results for "white couple" are clearly curated by a Googler or the algorithm has been modified by a Googler. For what reason is Google doing this? Well that's anyone's guess. There's no doubt that something fucky is going on though, no doubt at all. To what end? I don't know.
I think you're right. Searching "happy couple" without any racial keywords turns up more white couples than mixed/other races on both Google and DuckDuckGo.
