Sex/Age/Race Poll

[gsmax5]

This is similar to the thread someone else made, but it would be really nice to see it displayed as a graph.


If you are mixed race, just put down the race where it is not the majority (if you are half asian and half white living in China, put down "White". If you are living in Iceland, put down "Asian")

Is there a way to edit polls?

I want to make the ages more specific.

 

[Remus]

It only lets you put up to 15 choices, so I decided not to list any subraces.

jews aren't white, unless ofcourse you consider turks and arabs to be white.

 

[Remus]

added two races

I can clear the values and add more age criteria?

Sure that would be great!

I guess if we had enough do do each decade until 50, that would be good.

There are really only a few races:


1. White/Caucasian (Europe+Middle East+North Africa; in fact the Caucasus mountains are partly in the Middle East)
2. American Indian (originally part of the Mongoloid race; but they were isolated after the Bering Strait melted; Hispanics are mostly just Caucasian with major Amerindian influences)
3. African
4. Southern African (believe it or not, black people in southern Africa are racially more distant from western africans than Euros and people from the Middle East)
5. Australians (Papua New Guinea, Australia, etc)
6. Indians (There is a ton of debate about their racial classification)

Jews, and Arabs are usually considered Caucasian, but they are so diverse that members of a lot of races can be "Jews" or "Arabs" . Turks are completely unrelated and vary between Asian/Caucasian (as in the case of Uzbeks) to just Caucasian (like Turks from Turkey). Iranians are also, by the way, completely unrelated to Arabs and Turks.

From what I hear, racial definitions in the UK are a bit different, but I don't really know them well.

Lol. I spent way too much time on this post.

 

[Remus]

its very difficult to determine race, I guess we are all such a melting pot , you could make two different polls maybe?

 

[coyote]

I choose female, 18-40yrs, white, Asian and Hispanic.

that sure narrows it down

 

[Ignace]

Male/Under 18/White.

 

[coyote]

there's no choice for transgendered

I'm feeling slighted

This just goes to show that "race" - like so many other things - is merely a fabrication in the mind of man.

I imagine a hungry tiger wouldn't make such distinctions.
