This happens to all search engines. I tried bing, ddg, yandex. Baidu shows the least interracial images (using the exact English phrase, not Chinese), but there are still a number of images.

It is probably something with the content being produced itself, rather than bias within the search engine. But then, with the way things work, it might make no sense to separate the two.

if the search engines wouldn't grok the attributes and basically dig up pictures showing couples then there should still be more pictures of white couples as there are more white couples than black/white couples.

The more boring but more probably true explanation is that almost no one captions their family photos "white woman with white man", and nearly all of the photos of couples that use the word "white" or "black" are interracial couples.
