					<description>Man, that quote really is hilarious.  If most of the people with regular internet access are white, and they go around writing about stuff white people like, and pretty much only link to other white people, then generic search engines are going to be pretty white by default.  I don't get what's not obvious about that.

Personally, the idea that your top hits in a search engine would frequently  be either about Black people or by Black authors is sort of amazing to me.  It changes how you view the world.

As to the point of your post: Yeah.  White people get to run around thinking that they're the default humans.  Like everyone else has some kind of layer of ethnicity that they lack.  Like Whiteness isn't a layer they've got themselves.  It amazes me that this has to keep being pointed out to people, but there it is.</description>
