Indeed.
Also this is a great example of how the fediverse really does have algorithms. And I wouldn't be surprised if the default that Mastodon chose magnifies racial and/or gender biases. The pattern in other social network sites white people mostly follow,, boost, and reply to other white people. So the replies-to-folllowers algorithm seems likely to further magnify racial disparties in terms of what posts people see in their feeds.
