So? There are white people in the world. Ten bucks says she tuned it to make her look white for the clicks. I've seen this in person several times at my local college. People die for attention, and shit like this is an easy-in.

Like what some has already said here: it's a commentary of what Anglo-centric societies view as "professional" at the time the model is trained. Why Anglo-centric? By virtue that the US is the center of internet activity.
Disappointing but not surprising. The world is full of racial bias, and people don't do a good job at all addressing this in their training data. If bias is what you're showing the model, that's exactly what it'll learn, too.
