> What if the technology was only/primarily tested with white people, rather than inherently having better outcomes for white adults?

I think we have a precedence for that in testing of drugs. The majority of drugs are primarily tested on white men, meaning that their effect and dosages may be problematic for women or people of color.

There's also the issue of the majority of tools being designed for right handed people and any left handed either needs to spend more on tools or accept a certain risk when operating a chainsaw.
