Facebook now appears to think I'm from the subcontinent, or of South Asian ancestry.

This is progress of a sort. Some months ago I think they thought I was Jewish, as I was getting the same egg donor ad from the same people but with the title "Jewish Egg Donors Needed". They also used a different photo.

I suppose it's the sari ads I clicked on a while back.

Wait... Facebook thinks you're a potential egg donor? You would think that gender-detection is about as basic a dossier-analysis task as one imagine. Does that mean that corporate Little Brother as incompetent as public-sector Big Brother?

Facebook thinks I'm a potential egg donor for entirely legitimate reasons, as I specified my gender as female when I signed up.

ETA: A couple of the funnier results of this are here and here. Note that I have been clicking on my interests as I find them.
