Why does it add the adjective African every time?

If you look at the images they, like, all say african american, specifically.

There's very little on just all american inventors in general.
I don't see why race has to be a factor all the time.

So then why in 2016 is "first AfAm to do x" such a huge deal? They're still thought of as am entirely different people by everyone, including themselves.

Nobody would care about "history being made" by an American with Korean ancestors winning the presidency.

I'm looking at google images and it's overwhelmingly notated african american.
Realistically it would be something like 12% of results being african american, not 85%.

Just to clarify I dislike apologists, and feel like we, having been born near the turn of the millennium, have nothing to apologize for, and a research tool should reflect accurate results, not apologist ones.

We as individuals don't, we as a society do.
