That's fine but it isn't the goal of these algorithms. It isn't the reality that is useful for them to learn. It's a different problem to try to build some kind of "unbiased" ontology rather than just to learn about words. Feel free to research or create solutions to this other problem, it sounds interesting.
And if you think that people won't use the idea that the outputs are unbiased because the computer isn't programmed with the same prejudices that produce the inputs, I have some algorithmically-generated investment advice involving a bridge to sell you
