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.

Perhaps so, I'm tone-deaf there.

You may want to think about that, because this is one of those situations that reminds me of the Megan McArdle article you just posted about:

It is a general rule about how people of all genders and political ideologies interact with women who assert their right to have strong opinions about important issues. I was not issuing dicta; I was trying to start a conversation about how people view women.
