I mean wouldn’t this just be due to like the sheer number of BS “female professional” stock photos used on the websites of call centers globally, that the AI ingested? Said “professional white person” photos being used especially in non-western websites in order to gain legitimacy in the west?

Like given what little I know about how AI ingests and spits out data, it might be correlating the buzzword “professional”, and stock photos of white people that were ingested from Asian websites. It might be “wrong” but the AI doesn’t attempt to be “right” it’s just trying to give you what you expect based on the data it has.
