I don’t think there’s anything malicious going on here, but there does seem to be a trend, a trend in the wrong direction. First, some facts from the linked article:

• Google celebrated 445 individuals in Doodles on its various homepages throughout the world.
• An overwhelming 357 of those people were men–and 275 of those men were white.
• 77 Doodles celebrated women–but only 19 celebrated women of color.
• There were zero women of color honored in a global Doodle (Doodles seen everywhere around the world) until 2013, when Ella Fitzgerald was featured.
• Although women make up more than 50% of the world’s population, they’ve made up only 17% of Google Doodles honoring people from 2010 to 2013.
• White people made up 91% of global Doodles and 74% of total Doodles honoring people from 2010 to 2013.
• Of the 26% of Doodles honoring people of color, only 18% honored women of color–that’s only 4.3% of every Doodle honoring a person from 2010 to 2013.

What’s going on here Google? This point has been made before. From an open letter to Google written by PhD student Ann Martin in 2011:

For years, I have watched Google Doodles contribute to the viewpoint that it is men who create the world we live in and innovate to improve it. I continued to hope that Google would recognize and address this obvious bias. Because you have not spoken up for the women in STEM, creativity, innovation, the arts, and the humanities, I am speaking up for us.

Again, this letter was published in 2011. Since then the numbers have gotten worse. You are better than this, Google.
