Actually not so much racist. It is more so Americentrism, which essentially looks at America (but more so the just USA) as the "most important" or "central focus" when it comes to nations. It follows closely to a lot of other ethnocentric beliefs by placing nation significance and influence above all other forces. I don't wish to condemn those who hold this belief. Especially since most media in the USA is fairly, shall we say, nation centric. Causing a lot of people to grow up with that sort of presence.

Also, for me Google displays a larger variety of flags. However, unfortunately it isn't 100% diverse. It seems that vising the site with the extension specific to another country changes it a bit.
