I don't understand how people could even argue that this is in any way acceptable. Fighting "bias" has become some boogyman and anything "non-white" is now beyond reproach. Shocking.
Fighting bias is a good thing, you'd have to be pretty...er...biased to believe otherwise. Bias is fundamentally a distortion or deviation from objective reality.

This, on the other hand, is just fucking stupid political showboating that's hurting their SV white knight cause. It's just differently flavored bias

Seriously, I've basically written off using Gemini for good after this HR style nonsense. It's a shame that Google, who invented much of this tech, is so crippled by their own people's politics.
"I can't generate white British royalty because they exist, but I can make up black ones" is pretty close to an actually valid reason.
