I typed in 'anglo american inventors' and no (0) picture results came up.
I typed in 'european american inventors' and three (3) picture results came up.

It is clear that I, as an anglo/european american, am being purposely discriminated against by the manipulation of the results...perhaps I should use my legal education to initiate a discrimination lawsuit!?!?!?

You're not getting featured images or carousel, but there are plenty of search results! 169K for the first, Not every search produces a carousel or a featured snippet - generally they're reserved for high-frequency queries.
Both of those terms you typed have an average monthly search volume of 0. So I'm surprised they put up image results for either of them. And the results are pretty weak overall because there's not as much relevant content. Compare to American / African American Inventors, which both have a healthy avg search volume of about 10K.
Nobody's pushing an agenda, you're interpreting what you see through your own bias and assumptions.

 

[Mister Funsky]

assumptions.

You are as well...making assumptions that is...I am sure in your experience you have had what that word, when broken down, means. Maybe we both are guilty!?!

You, I assume, are arguing with yourself regarding search volume results...I made no reference to that at all...simply about the picture results.

There is something more at work than pushing an agenda here...its about the chase for the dollar. Those engines are catering to a specific result in order to increase revenue based upon those doing the searches. To me that is a much more harmful thing in the long term.

Maybe you don't see or agree with what I am saying but that is the beauty of America...we can have our own opposing views of the same situation...It is clear I will not change your view and I assure you that mine will not change. So lets agree to disagree...we have reached an impasse.

Now, about our great leader and theirs...there are many things other than the 'biggie' that can be used to subdue NK fruitcake in the event he is stupid enough to make a strike, conventional or not, against the US or an ally...don't think we have to worry about fallout anytime soon (not much more than usual anyway).

"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," Trump told reporters, speaking slowly and deliberately with his arms crossed in front of him. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening ... and as I said they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before."

Bill Clinton said something very similar but decided giving NK nuclear fuel was a better choice.

In a rare moment of truth from MSNBC’s serial liar late Tuesday night, Brian Williams admitted on his show The 11th Hour that “our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject.”

The same at CNN.

North Korea threatens missile strike on US territory Guam. North Korea's statement comes just hours after Trump said any threat to the US would be met with 'fire and fury'.

(Take a look at my last post 25 minutes ago). If Guam gets hit, you know Trump will strike back, then good luck to all. We are dealing with two children leaders.

This is foolish. People act like everything before 2017 didn't happen. The only difference is we have a President who won't appease the mad king.

Image search for Antifa, 95% of the results are violent white nationalist. Of course they don't show who they're fighting but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fake story.

"They are seriously thinking of reopening this investigation and therefore if she doesn't take the plea agreement, which I agree with you, she almost certainly won't, I think they will then proceed with this investigation and this is going to drag on for a long time and in a way balance the investigation that's going on with President Donald Trump and his campaign advisers regarding so-called collusion with the Russians," Klein told Khan."

"The Clinton attorney cautioned that normally a plea is offered by a prosecutor only upon arraignment, and Hillary has not yet been charged with any crime."

I work with search engine results and search data all week long. It's part of my job to understand how they process things, read patents, keep up with new SERP features, etc. You?

Query popularity is one factor in whether or not Google shows anything above the "regular" search results or not - images, carousel, featured snippet, local pack, etc.

The code base behind any search engine is immense. There are QC controls in place. Aside from the issue that you would most likely have to touch multiple lines of code in various sections of the product (one person or workgroup may not have access to all) to do this, do you seriously think someone's going to code "if query = "American Inventors" and language = English show a page top carousel, fill carousel with only african american inventors" into the algo?
Not. Going. To. Happen.

If you do enough searches, you can produce results that appear to be biased for or against just about anything.

I don't need to...I pay someone.

 

[enlytend]

I'm one of the ones getting paid.

BTW - American Inventors is a non-commercial information query with no ads. Google isn't making a penny from that.

That doesn't make it a fake story. It means her lawyer is talking the DOJ. We all know she's riding dirty.

Google has manipulated search results for years, it's just getting worse. I have a couple of my own examples where they make it almost impossible to find historical information critical of democrats.

That's fine. Sooner or later another company will produce an honest algorithm and people will use it.

Multiple times for you, you can't show me once where I posted fake stuff.

You guys talk about CNN and other major news sources, where people can literally lose their jobs if they get things wrong and you use what instead? Conservative, right wing, conspiracy rags.
