I love the nearly racist truth that there are clear tiers for countries and helpful YouTube content.
Are you an Electrical Engineer? You want a man of Slavic descent.
Computer scientist? Indian man.
Programmer? You want either middle east or (vaguely) American white guy.
Physics? White girl; geographic region not important. Or black American man.
Mental Health: woman either American or vaguely from geographic region of India.
Mathematics? British accent or Asian descent.
I am not sure why this pattern seems to exist, but it feels present. If you seek help on YouTube with any of these subjects I imagine you've seen it.
Like if I'm looking for an explanation on Colombs Law, I want a guy that sounds like ElectroBoom. If I need to know about Discrete Finite Automata, Ill click the first guy with a turban. If I want to know about the poincare conjecture, Im looking for snaggletooths. If I want the latest from James web, I'm looking for a ponytail or Sabine.

I feel like even SEO acknowledges this prejudice.
I feel called out by the electrical engineering part, I did tinker with electrical stuff ever since I was a kid and know a ton of shit about it >!(Also explains why I suck at programming but that's not the point)!<
