Well true, that's often not low hanging fruit, especially if its about historical figures from historically underrepresented groups, as you have to dig deeper to find information on them

Not if you're a member of the historically underrepresented group. That's the point.


Being a member of the underrepresented group doesn't neccesarily imply you know where to find records non members don't or that the same type of records even exist. As they say, history is written by the victors, typically underrepresented groups weren't the victors.
