I've seen this one posted on here a lot. The primary reason you get 'suspicious' results is because most white people don't define themselves by their skin colour. If I google 'happy woman' I get a ratio far more representative of the population (1 in 10 black at most). 'Happy family' again returns majority white results.

The moment I stick 'white' in my search terms you start seeing more interracial results because people actually bother to attach race descriptors to those photos.

Yes, there probably is a disproportionate return rate for black women on the surface, but when you read the titles on a lot of the pictures the reason for their return starts to make sense. eg. "happy african woman waving hand over white stock photo." I also saw a number of titles where the clothing worn was white.

In my experience most white people will define themselves on a national level rather than by their skin colour. 'American Family', 'English family', 'French Family' all return majority white families.

Disclaimer: I'm not from America so my results may be less biased than yours.

It’s a good deal of effort to alter return search results in specific ways like this by a search engine provider. This explanation makes the most sense. Results also raise in ranking and likely returns the more people search. I can see people looking for stock images of happy women and happy black women, especially with marketing the way it is as opposed to happy white woman.

I did, and then I Googled "happy black women". If I didn't know better, I'd say there's some sort of agenda.
