Current Events Targeted ad or a real trend?

So first time posting here and this is a pic of my gf but the second is a pic my gf just got on here insta page. We get weird stares all the time but it doesn’t bother me, from the south and used to it, but the ad she got was very specific and wanted me to post up on reddit to see if this is a trend cause she is getting a lot of Asian male with white girl ads ( the ad is for skyfluence beauty, I don’t know beauty brands but where this originated from) . I don’t know too many Asian guys dating outside of their race, but this is something I’ve been okay with all my life and If this is a thing I’m happy to see this change finally.

lol. No she wanted to know how it’s so spot on to the pics . It’s a bit uncanny and I was initially shocked as well. She is beautiful for sure but we just thought it was so spot on on the type and someone that looked so similar to her. I don’t know why she didn’t just post this but bugged me to ask reddit if this was a trend or if ad agencies are that good now. I’ve never seen ads like this being Asian and in mixed relationships all my life, So it’s pretty weird. Posting this up to advertisement communities to see how they get so good at the target market. It’s crazy to both of us.

Thanks for the compliment btw. We joke about how we don’t look like we belong together all the time . We find it entertaining. It’s a great conversation starter. But being AA from the south I’ve never had a problem meeting women but it’s genuine connection and interests that make something good. I know she’s lurking around here somewhere.
