What race/ethnicity are you?

Postby Tyler_JC » Mon 04 Jun 2007, 22:18:32

Someone in another thread wondered what the racial demographics of the Peak Oil Crowd was...so here we go.

Please don't be offended if I lump too many different kinds of people together into one race. There are only so many options allowed in a poll.

I made "Jewish" a separate option because apparently there is some controversy on this forum about whether or not Jewish people are Caucasian.

If you believe they should be considered White, feel free to add them to the "White/Caucasian/European" option. If not, feel free to leave them out.

Jews are indeed different. They're related to Arabs and others in that area, aren't they?

So if I don't profess that Jews are all from J.O. England or something do I get carried away in my sleep and circumcised?

I'm confused.

Two posts and it started. What is it about this forum that draws so many of them?

Since everyone reading this forum falls into the category of:

a combination of the above

there may be a slight problem with this poll.

Scientists say there might even be some Neanderthal genes mixed in there somewhere.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')Are you crazy... can't you see that man's a ni..."


Suck it haters.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

I forgot:

To all those who have already voted "White"... sorry... but well... no.

Think of it like this.

Picture a man... a young man.

Now picture the group of women he would refuse to have sex with.

Now pull your heads out of your collective... misunderstanding holes, & embrace the horror.

Repeat as necessary.

Please return your brains to their full upright positions for landing.
That is all.

As predicted, this website is more than 80% white (more if you include some of the people who are being clever by selecting the "some other race" option)

We've already seen evidence that this website is at least 80% men.

So now I just need to prove that the website is mostly middle and upper middle class folks and my hypothesis will be proven correct.

Namely that most peak oilers are middle class white men.
