Today Google is celebrating Casimir Funk's 140th birthday. What's interesting about this is that Funk is a white man. He was "was among the first to discover and introduce the concept of vitamins and essential nutrients needed for human health."
Funk was Polish, so some would say he's not white-white, but I think most people consider Poles, Slavs, Irish, Italians, etc., white these days. When was the last time Google featured a white dude?
I am 100% sure this is to try to cover for the AI fiasco and the coverage it got. These companies really think we have the memory of a goldfish. They are half right, but seeing this, that Army recruitment ad, Budlight's recent marketing, it's almost more insulting than the nonsense that was pushed to begin with.
I agree but I am at work, I have to use Google shit for work. So 5/7 days a week I see this. Google pretty much has market capture for searches, too, so this is what the average person is seeing. Most might not be aware of the AI stuff but even Fox ran a story on it so it has broken through to some normies. I think this is a response to that. Now Google can say "Look! We do celebrate white achievements!"
