Stuff people like
« on: Thursday, September 09, 2010, 12:29:52 PM »
Well, stuff people on OK Cupid like.

They scanned 526,000 random profiles on the site and did a bunch of data mining. So now you can see white guys like Tom Clancy, black people love soul food, asians are "foodies", and pacific islander chicks love Alecia Keys for some reason. I was also unaware that black people seem pretty religious and white chicks like the Red Sox. Who knew?

i like the cross section of religion and writing proficiency for some rather obvious reasons.

One more fun fact: Arabs are blocked out of the site due to cultural inconsistencies. Our governments make all our personal decisions for us.

Well, when it's the only "country" in the Middle East that visits the site it stands to reason they would like their own "country."

I'm sure other people bypass their proxy restrictions and visit okcupid, but I doubt it's a significant number. I never even heard of the site until I looked it up yesterday.

The Red Sox - especially around here (areas near Boston and especially in Boston) - is freakin' HUGE period.

Where is rape and slavery? As a white man I feel under-represented
