Google can amplify the result though. Just like a population that votes 51% Republican and 49% Democrat can have a 100% Republican legislature if divided into equally representative districts, Google can amplify society’s latent racism by making a model that is more racist than the training data.

This is a good point, but I also think that any search engine is inherently an amplifier, so it's simplistic to say they should just fix it somehow.
