In the overarching grand scheme of things, what follows may seem trivial, mundane and beneath Google\u2019s awesome sense of importance to warrant an official response of any kind. In any case, since Google has the technical ability to manipulate search results, thereby doing more potential harm to US democracy than any Russian hacker could imagine, the matter simply cannot go unattended any longer.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sundar Pichai, as Google CEO, you are probably aware of a September 2016\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0from Unz Review that discusses the listing \u2013 or rather delisting \u2013 of a number of American inventors, many of whom were household names once upon a time. But in one fell swoop, Google seems to have \u2013 deliberately or otherwise \u2013 designated these tinkering white guys to the digital dungeon.<\/p>\n

To better understand what I am talking about, I would kindly ask you to take a moment and conduct a Google query for the subject\u00a0\u2018American inventors\u2019<\/a>. Once the query is complete, you will see at the top of the page a horizontal, photographic listing of individuals that Google offers as top examples of \u2018American inventors.\u2019 Here, Mr. Pichai, is where I am greatly confused.<\/p>\n

In the search results provided, only two American inventors are of European lineage. They are Thomas Edison (6th<\/sup>\u00a0place), and Alexander Graham Bell (10th<\/sup>\u00a0place). Scrolling ahead further the situation does not improve for that diverse tribe of people known as \u2018European Americans.\u2019 I regret to inform you that just one pale-face representative of that talented race appears among the first 20 results.
