I am not sure how search engines can be better designed to help this problem to not occur. In some ways, it makes sense that ones search engine is tailored to them. For shopping preferences, recent life developments, etc. However just like everything else, biases about race have to be changed in order for things to improve.

I find this to be really interesting and I have never really thought about it. While reading this post, it also brought up the fact that AI is inherently biased and how could we change that. It is important that you made the distinction of Google always being biased as it is very interesting to think about. I also wonder if we could ever fix that even a little.
