Strong agreement here. The impulse to attribute any mishap on anything race-adjacent to racism is one of the most destructive memes at the moment.

It forces a worldview where malice is the default assumption and encourages the "enemies all around us" mindset.

Another example: Apple Maps pronounces “Jai Ho” as “high hoe”. Apparently Apple has too many Latino engineers and not enough Indian engineers?

Given that the goal of racism is to structure society, and given how well that succeeded in America, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask whether it's at play in pretty much any situation where we see racially biased outcomes.

But it is an excellent question why Google Maps is still terrible at Indian place names even though they have plenty of people internally who not only could help, but would be delighted to. The answer to that will be essentially sociological. If you think that answer in no way includes structural inequity despite it being pervasive in America since its founding, you will have to explain how you think Google managed to eliminate that in the Maps division and then managed to re-introduce some sort of structure that leaves a wealth of internal knowledge untapped.
