Nah, Google is just racist. Jack Krawczyk is on record making a bunch of racist remarks (against white people) and Youtube was sued multiple times for racial discrimination (against whites and males).

It just permeated the culture and produced a self censorship effect. Who's going to stand up, in a company they know to be racist, and flag racism in their product as an issue? Nobody.

And so even if anyone noticed the problem before release, they didn't report it.
