For anything like this, you're unironically better off using a non US based search engine. There's alot of US cultural biases. If you search something like that on say Yandex, you will get far more accurate results. But also keep in mind it has "Russian" biases, so if you search something like "Ukraine War" it will return Russian biased responses.

> There's alot of US cultural biases.

You're correct overall, but be careful about equating greater US culture with the culture at big technical firms. They overlap, but are often deeply at odds with each other.

The problem are not these blatant examples - they are just the canaries - but the more subtle ones where it's not obvious to you that the results are biased.

Change patronizing to matronizing and the top result is the Urban Dictionary with a lot of feminist writing links following it. Seems like a self-reinforcing bias in the corpus.

That seems like a better tactic than asking my wife the same question!
