You can sometimes remove specific ads by hovering the cursor above the top right corner of the ad. An x might appear so close it and it will ask you if the ad was inappropriate or whatever.

It worked for me on some of the ads, but not others.

I hate those ads. I don't know why they only come up on this website. I also get the ads with the Arab women. So annoying. I wish the ads would be mixed up but the same ads constantly pop up.

It's Google AdSense so it's based on your searches.

Typcically it has to do with your searches in the past, although there is a setting in Chrome I believe that will disable things like that.

i get the same thing and i dont look at that stuff plus i get that at school too 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

I get those ads from time to time. I have never googled anything even related to Asian women (or anything about women in general).

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

The funny thing is, wouldn't Asian girls' profiles be written in different languages?

google just gives you ads based on what they think your demograpic is, they try to guess your age and likes and stuff

Every other adsense ad I get is all about gaming pc and video games. I only get those asian woman ads on LTT. If it wernt for those ads, i would disable adblock. Maybe Linus is trolling...?

This is why I use adblock plus. I have zero issues supporting a site by having it disabled, but only when the ads aren't trashy. According to posters in this thread, they are getting these types of ads even when it has nothing to do with search history. Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather see the shaver club stuff being pushed on me vs trying to meet slutty women on a tech forum.

Well you probably have one of the dirtiest minds on the forum.

Jk

I got that add once but that was because the ad blocker I use wasn't on effect for some reason.
