True. This doesn't explain the obvious bias for the prompt "an American person" though. All the results are of young and beautiful people, the vast majority of whom- in contrast with all other countries- are women. That, to be honest, is an over-idealized representation that doesn't match at all with my stereotypical image of "an American person".

I've seen many a "Bob" and "Linda" on cruises before.
That is indeed a better fit. Personally, every time I visit the USA, I am reminded that it is a country of morbidly obese people in so many customer-facing jobs. I sort of forget about that in the interim, because media depictions of Americans show more photogenic people.
