"Revealed: Black hero who rescued white man from attack during far-right London protests"

I typed in number 4, and this is the one that came up first too.
 
Wow! Duckduckgo

Returns only "black man saves white guy" when entering the reverse. Why am I not surprised.

They could have at least gone back to the Civil War and found ONE

This simple test reveals the deliberate bias programmed into all search engines, including duckduckgo. It is a serious problem since search engines are a fundamental tool for people to gather information. I put "white man saves black man" in quotes and the only hit was the following: "White man saves a black man from a Cop beating".
