> Racism is discrimination, discrimination implies a power imbalance
Google has more power than these users, that is enough power to discriminate and thus be racist.

Or "monopolist"? :D The thing is, I honestly don't know if that is or isn't the correct word for this. My point is, to me (as a European less exposed to all this culture war stuff), it doesn't seem that important. Weird and hilarious is what it is to me.
If you discriminate based on race it is "racist", not "monopolist".
> it doesn't seem that important
You might not think this is important, but it is still textbook definition of racism. Racism doesn't have to be important, so it is fine thinking it is not important even though it is racism.
