No, they're spamming everyone with this crap. That's why it's labelled featured.

oh i see. most of my ads are black people though. like ads with families in it are usually a black person. tv commerials too. they base the ads on demographics. if you are in china town your ads will be chinese unless they have online finderprinted you as another race.

Don't worry, YouTube thinks everyone is black right now. That or white. Since corporations only see two colors and can't comprehend the world in more than simple dualities.

There's a simple audio captcha they can do to establish our race for ad purposes. Just ask people to pronounce "ask" into their microphone. The ads then adjust accordingly.
