From the examples I see on Twitter, they are usually referring to the different cultures of Irish, European, and American white people. Gemini, in an effort to reverse the bias that the models would naturally have, ends up replacing these people with those from other cultures.

Since the definition of "white" is inherently cultural, it varies from place to place and from time to time. Today, in US and Europe, pretty much everyone who cares about racial categorization would consider Irish "white". Historically, it was different, but that is only relevant when discussing history.

White is a pretty complex and non-obvious category.

Isn't it even more racist to replace them in a picture? Being told that your skin colour is too offensive to show sounds a lot worse to me than calling them "white" considering their skin is very white

Let me guess, you’re one of these people that think the Irish had it harder than African Americans in early US history.

Not true, that was made up by race baiting academics who were lying liars. It's absurd that anyone fell for it, frankly.

The lie originates with a Communist race hustler named Noel Ignatiev, also known for publishing Race Traitor magazine. A thoroughly unpleasant person.

> who were lying liars.

As opposed to truthful liars?

is pale better?

US American white people. Anything else would be a ridiculous overgeneralization, like "Asian culture", even if you set some arbitary benchmark for teint and only look at those European countries it's still too much diversity to pool together.

A little continent called europe?

As if you can generalize the culture of different European countries, or even different regions in the same country just by skin color. Now this, in my opinion, is a form of cultural erasure where all the intricacies and interesting aspects of culture are put aside and overshadowed by skin color.
