I think the idea is that it's what makes a person "an Indian" and not something else.

Only a minority of Indians wear turbans, but more Indians than other people wear turbans. So if someone's wearing a turban, then that person is probably Indian.

I'm not saying that's true necessarily (though it may be), but that's how the AI interprets it...or how pictures get tagged.

It's like with Canadians and maple leaves. Most Canadians aren't wearing maple leaf stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if an AI added maple leaves to an image of "a Canadian".
