Facebook says I am black, very liberal, a supporter of LGBTQ rights, a baseball fan, and a frequent traveler with a particular interest in Jujubes.

Well, at least _some_ of that is accurate!

Facebook seems to think I am a very liberal GMail user who lives far away from my hometown and likes cats, dogs, Game of Thrones, and Bridget Jones.

They are incorrect about Bridget Jones, but they probably know exactly how old I am, and I fit squarely in the demographic.
