There is actually a possible innocent explanation of this.

* Google image search mostly looks at image captions.

* Relatively few people caption their pictures "Me and Jane, a proud white woman and white man". Like, only white supremacists.

* Relatively many people caption their pictures, "me and John, a white woman with a black husband". Like, interracial couples.

* "white woman" becomes associated with interracial couples.

* So does "white man".

I don't know if this is the true story, but it would be funny if so.

that would certainly be a possible explanation
