I show you a picture of an asian person (if you're good at distinguishing them, you notice they're of Japanese ethnicity, specifically) that you do not know, and it is obvious that I've photoshopped clothing, background, and other environmental visual cues that could reveal that person's culture. You only have their body frame and their face to work with.
What is your probability assignment that this person is of generic asian (japanese) culture, as opposed to any other culture (e.g. that of amazon hunter-gatherer tribes)? Is this probability equal to that for any other culture, as per an even-distribution hypothesis?
