I feel like maybe only one or two of these are actually "wrong" but can be easily fixed with prompts. The outrage seems excessive

That's just it, though.

They can't be. If you specifically ask for a "white pope", Gemini refuses and essentially tells you that asking for a white person is offensive and racist.

Ask for a black/Native American/Asian/Indian/etc Pope, and it will make one. Ask for just a "Pope" with no race specified, and you'll get a random race and never a white one. Ask for a white Pope, it tells you it can't do that.
