I asked the Ashkenazi question.
There seem to be a large number of ashkenazi names on the list, and the
results might show a curious skew. There are a lot more Anglo names on this
list than Chinese names, too, but that can easily be attributed to the
location and language.
While Ashenazis make up less than 1/500th of the world population, less than
1/80th of the US population, and not much of the English speaking
population. So, if the results are higher than, say, 5%, it might be
interesting to note the disproportionate representation.
As for the-other-AI, well, I didn't ask how many Sephardim are on the list
There are many far better questions that could be asked. This is just one
that came to mind.
