That doesn't contradict the article in any way. The article observes that the inadvertent bias in search results tends to reproduce real-world bias against minorities. It makes no claim that the same frequency mining algorithms cannot also skew results in other unintended ways, like matching "African American Inventors" to your query. Claiming otherwise is dishonest.

Painting a misleading picture of the whole situation by ignoring evidence that doesn't suit their agenda is dishonest.
