AGI should show us the truth. It shouldn't be deliberately biased. And this is the best weapon against racism. Racism is irrational - it comes from, built in human nature, bias against aliens. Humans have a tendency to generalize negative features of units to whole groups in a very different way for our group and the alien group. We have examples of that in the history and now. The idea that some nations should be eradicated or enslaved because they so much differ from our nation is riddiculous. But is was very popular. Assuming that all people from particular countries should be banned from entering your country is also irrational but appealing for many.
An AGI which tries to be as objective as possible would be free from this dangerous tendency. This would make political correctness unnecessary for it. However it is possible that people would interpret its finding in a racist way. For example it may find out that ethnic group A is better at IQ tests then group B, but this is be due to lower educational level of B. Some people would repeat only the first part of its finding.
