the difference here is that the drivers are the people. It's not the state saying 'thou shalt believe this'. It is the people saying 'this is the only truth'.
In the first case you can blame the state, and perhaps change its course, through the ballot box or revolution.
But how do you change the people, when the people can't and won't see any other truth?
There is only one truth with the little difference what this truth is used for. For one a shoe is a shoe, for the man from the jungle it's a cup for water. Back to the topic if Google is the state, it's still the source of segregation, and people all over the globe have been complaining that Google isn't neutral.
This also has been done for ages.
How do you teach a person that a wall is black when it's been told since birth that it's white?
I think the whole aproach of teaching is wrong. it all aims to put stuff in boxes and that every box has it's place and worth separating it from other boxes even further. Problem is that people in boxes will likely point the finger at other boxes and the end result, even in a long run, is always violence. I think that is why I don't like to title myself with hobbies, skills, etc. If governments change their mindset into doing good, people will follow. Otherwise even if revolutions change the person holding the biggest club, nothing much will change because people will still sit in their own vulnarable boxes full of pride, mistrust and ignorance not wanting to accept others. That's even ok for me. Everyone has its way but we force our stuff on others through exploiting, toxic trade deals and wars to mention the biggest
