If you go to google and type in “three white teenagers” you get a couple of stereotypical white teens smiling with balls.

But when “three black teenagers” is googled your shown various mugshots of young black adults. 

This is no joke. Google should see how much of a problem this is. By portraying young black adults as no more than criminals with mugshots, while their white peers are shown as “ideal” teenagers, they are subjecting black teens to the implications of a societal notion that “blacks commit crimes.” Not only does it effect the black confidence as a whole but it gives off to every viewer a preconceived notion that while your white children brandish balls, these black kids brandish no more than mugshots and prison records. It is true, yes, black teens commit crimes. But not ALL black teens. And it's not JUST black teens. So it shouldn’t be the TOP result for it. All I’m saying google is in the name of fairness you need to either add more photos of white teen’s mugshots, which DO exist, to the top results or include more “ideal” black teen stock photos much like those you deliver for the white kids.
