I actually try my best not to Google them and usually succeed. In fact don't think I've ever done that while doing the review.

But wouldn't that make sense actually? Comparing authors' previous work on the subject with the manuscript at hand improves review in a way.

But then you are opening yourself up to a whole bunch of implicit biases based on who they are.

If the previous work is relevant they would cite it? But Google them I would discover eg their culture and race etc

Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. That's why you check. Knowing culture and race is fine as long you're not ethnocentric and racist no?

Not really. The number of people who have been told their papers would benefit from a 'native English speaker' reading it is astounding

That is, told that just based on their name. Despite being a native English speaker. Do we think all those reviewers + editors are racist?

Personally I don't, it's just implicit biases at play. They see your name and assume you aren't a native English speaker. Lazy + insulting
