      If this were actual Google policy, I'd be the first to jump on them. But my guess is that it's just the opinion of some Google employee about what they should do, not what they actually do do. When something is too indignation-inducing to be true, it usually isn't.

          If that doc is even real it's not a policy doc. As @paulg says it's the opinion of one person in a company of 100k.

          @paulg, do a Google image search on American inventors

          People have brought this up before - it's almost certainly just picking up [African] American Inventors. Google "famous inventors" and you get the expected array of old white guys.

          It's certainly consistent with Google's rampant censorship and manipulative prioritization of search results.

          A blatant lie is easily detectable, but a conflation of both lie and truth is hard to distinguish from actual fact. That's why they keep Adison first.

          Come off it mate. Google is infested with social engineering far left ideologues all the way to the upper echelons of the company. Everyone knows that. They've gone from "don't be evil" to "let's be Communists; Stalin was awesome".

          How do we go about finding out what they "actually do do"?
