For fucks sake you are bankrupting the term racist! The people writing the search algorithms are not sitting there in SS uniforms reading mein Kampf, they obviously need some guidance and education but to state the internet is racist based on that is just fucking ridiculous!
@Kevkong, it isn't "fucking ridiculous". Firstly, I can relate with this article over 50%. Often times, its hard for me to come by black pictures on the sites mentioned in the post. And I am glad about the post because such occurrence bothers me alot. Even on google, when searching for what have you and you aren't well detailed, it brings out "White" first. Maybe you haven't observed well, if you do, the truth will reveal itself to you. Racism hasn't died yet, blacks are still the "other". Since, I have also thought-alike with the article and others can relate with it too. I don't think it's fucking ridiculous, personally. The purpose of the article is even empowerment for black-skinned. (Through the project suggested)
@mimy Not saying it wasn't interesting. I agree with the problem of white biased photographic information but is this racist? My point is that the term racist should be used for describing racial hatred and serious crimes against any people of a certain race, creed or colour etc... I'd just call call this a lack of education and a bias driven by commerce and trends.
Okay. Seems we have come to an agreement on the issue of the sideline . It's okay too if you want to tag it as "bias driven by commerce". Nice sharing idea with you @Kevkong
@stellabelle I wonder if it's really deliberate racism, or if it's the way that the pictures are marked up. I've noticed that when I do a google search, and I input something like "science fiction clubs" I get a lot of results that are neither science fiction nor clubs. I think that might be the markup in the descriptions that people put up. A programmer friend of mine does SOE (Search Engine Optimization) work and he tweaks things a million times to get it right.
As to whether there are decent pictures of black people, I must assume that there are. It's just that we aren't seeing them. Also, people are using their cell phone cameras. Some cell phone cameras aren't made to take great pictures.
As for taking a great picture, I'd suggest being in natural lighting (Outdoors) because sunlight provides the best lighting for everyone. You don't need a camera, and you seem more like yourself.
I hope that this helps in some small way.
I think reason for wrong search 'black man' is because i think this frase is considered as insult. So maybe try to search african-american or african instead. I think that elites are not racist and they promote our world to mix races together so they can unite our world in one world government. When a white men search in youtube frase interracial couples they mostly get white man and black women or asian women couple even if most of mixed couples are black man and white women. So they commercialise that. Mixed couples in the movies., cartoons, magazines, tv, everywhere. I live in country where theu are slmost all white before 20 years and some girls wanted to marry with black man even they didn't saw any in their life. It's commercial from media so i don't think that they are racist. They are against racism.
yeah, thanks....so I found the same thing....this was probably a bias on my part...
I still think there can be a lot done to add different kinds of people to stock photos...
As for taking a great picture, I'd suggest being in natural lighting (Outdoors) because sunlight provides the best lighting for everyone.
Just avoid direct sunlight, and preferably shoot when cloudy overhead skies, and/or make use of shades and reflectors. Softboxes and umbrellas are good substitute for natural light when indoors.
I am really not sure this is a smart move at all...accidentally I have recently read similar stuff with Google Image Search and people looking for stuff like "european history people" and now they suspect anti white racism...Plus, the question "is the Internet racist" sounds pretty silly, don't you think?
Damn it is 2017 how comes that people are still racist the world and all the countries have become multicultural I don't understand this people I am a German and my wife is from Mauritius can't wait to see the child we gonna make.

You are right but i think china asia, sub africa won't accept multicultural mixing. I think at this moment europe is most acceptable for mylticulturslism and welcoming people from everywhere to join them.
Yes you are right Asia don't accept multicultural mixing but some African countries do like Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania and for sure South Africa.
Yes that is true but in Nigeria they are very friendly to white people this I can say from my own experience. But anyway nobody should be racist we are all humans and the skin color don't matter.
Have a nice day ⓁⓄⓥⒺ & ⓁⒾⒼⒽⓉ
@winvideos you have to do your homework well before your comment. @danyelk point is more valid. Do you stay in Europe? have you been to all Asian and Sub African countries?
Your comment is totally unwise and uneducated. You judge out of ignorance!!!!!!!! where did apartheid come from and who did it? including mass shooting of children demonstrating against apartheid and racism? which people did mass killing and slavery for many years -including wiping out the American Indian population- who did it? which people are guilty of mass murder in 1st and second world war and the use of Nuclear bombs to wipe out humanity....where did it come from and who used it? where did systematic racism come from and who use it? you have to do your home work before writing something. I never said that anyone is better than the other but your comment is way out of reality!!!
@winvideos my comment is not meant to attack you or anyone but to remind you that Europeans are not as welcoming as you think !!! you seem to believe what you see on TV and read on papers hence why I referred you to history.
This is a good project I better try to edit some pictures to post.Im not a good photo editor but this is a good way to enhance my ideas with photo editing .I must tell this good news to my group of invites that steemit is not all about blogging but its also about photo creativity :)
great great great! hope you get this working, be so cool to have video, audio and pictures all IPFS! :) congrats on the idea, will certainly look at nomad pictures more when we are on the road to do more portrait photography for sure.

thanks for answering this thread.....I have a habit of kind of stirring up things.
Wondering if the internet is racist is definitely like opening a can of worms.
But I love the idea of a united creative commons gallery for everyone.
I typed 'white man' and 'white woman' into pixabay and a lot of Asians came up, the Internet isn't racist.

at this point, it's just important that this gets fixed and because we can do this, it can be done!

Thank you belle, i just tried to google african american and most of pictures are true african americans and 1 Donald Trump lol
yeah, thanks....so I found the same thing....this was probably a bias on my part...
I still think there can be a lot done to add different kinds of people to stock photos...
I guess part of the reason i wrote this is to show one angle, and then let others fill in the gap of my lack of understanding...
Yes we can do a lot more!
Just avoid direct sunlight, and preferably shoot when cloudy overhead skies, and/or make use of shades and reflectors. Softboxes and umbrellas are good substitute for natural light when indoors.
Wow! Now I know why photo studios are designed like that.
Would try this from now on...

Maybe because they were colonised but there is still racism in our world.

This is something we never thought about, like it has been done with a proper planning. And good to see that the idea came from a white lady.
#Respect
I think it accurately represent the unrealistic standards of beauty that society has, but all for changing this!
great great great! hope you get this working, be so cool to have video, audio and pictures all IPFS! :) congrats on the idea, will certainly look at nomad pictures more when we are on the road to do more portrait photography for sure.
