The framing here is off. This has nothing to do with racism and all to do with profits. Political pundits don't understand that class and material conditions are primary and the rest is just window dressing to cover up the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
Racism obviously exists but making the case for racism on Facebook is nonsensical. Facebook doesn't determine school policies and working conditions at Amazon warehouses, politicians do and Facebook here is just a scapegoat. More generally, whenever there is some story about the tech giants being racist then it's safe to assume it has nothing to do with racism and the writer is just not versed enough in actual political and economic theory to properly frame the real issue.
