Is not just that. All of those could be white or not, but AI can't refuse to respond to a prompt based on prejudice or give wrong answers.

In this case is asked to create a image of a "happy man" and returns a women, and there is no reason to do that.
People are focusing to much on the "white people" thing but the problem is that Gemini is refusing to answer to prompts or giving wrong answers.
Yes, it was doing gender swaps too.. and again only in ONE direction.
For example if you asked for a "drill rapper" it showed 100% women, lol.
It's like some hardcoded directional bias lazily implemented.
Even as someone in favor of diversity, one shouldn't be in favor of such a dumb implementation. It just makes us look like idiots and is fodder for the orange man & his ilk with "replacement theory" and "cancel culture" and every other manufactured drama that.. unfortunately.. the blue team leans into and validates from time to time.
