No, two unrelated things (one is Google Image Search, one is Gemini), and you didn't read the post. (n.b. not Gemini)

I did predict on this forum about a year ago that the DEI excesses people complained about at their own companies would become "Google" because people were assuming Google was doing what they were doing at their own companies, because their own companies thought they were following the leader with their own weird stuff.

I'll even share the real inside scoop with you, which I'm told has leaked widely at this point. Gemini was failing evaluations miserably for "picture of a smart person", and over-eager leadership decided "DAMN THE TORPEDOES, PAPA SUNDAR NEEDS US TO RUSH OUT A CRAPPY LLM DURING THE SLEEPY HOLIDAY NEWS CYCLE. CRANK UP THE PROMPT INJECTION"

(source: I worked at Google through October 2023, sourcing for inside scoop is yet another Google flunkey run over by crappy management)

Try Google image search for "white couple" vs "black couple" or "asian couple". It'll happily give you what you ask for as long it's not white. If you ask for white couples then 1/4 of them are mixed-race.

Maybe unrelated in terms of implementation, but same deliberate choice has been made.

Oh, my bad, you're just doing old conspiracies that are completely unrelated to the thread because you got really upset when you saw the idea that insidious Google DEI Sith are forcing you to see non-white people to reprogram the populace.

-- aka you saw ragebait about a 2 word query and couldn't think of any other possible explanation for why 'white couple' might turn up black people on a white background. or maybe just didn't look at the query at all.

Carry on, you do you, self-peasantization is self-correcting.

Huh?

I was replying to a post with a link about Gemini's bias, so discussing Gemini's bias seems rather on-topic.

Not sure what triggered you, but calm down.
