Poll question: Just out of curiosity
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 06:53 AM by eggbeater
What is the racial breakdown on DU?
Im curious how well balanced this site is.
Do we have a good picture of the United States as far as our representation goes?
A couple of the local forum groups that I belong to are lopsided as far as this goes, but I was thinking that because the DU is more of a national forum that it should represent close to the actual percentages that we have in the country.

If you would prefer not share your own information in regards to this, then just vote but leave no response.


next poll:
How many people could have had health insurance with the money spent liberating the oil in Iraq?

2. Hi, eggbeater.
I haven't voted yet, but I know there are several Native Americans at DU. Is it too late to add that option?

Nice to see you. :hi:

4. Morning to you
As luck would have it, I can edit the poll.
Thanks for the suggestion. It seems I might not be as all inclusive as I wish I were. LOL

5. A little hard to pick one category actually. I did select one, but I'm
not particularly satisfied, because others apply too.

6. Oh come on now

I kinda just tried for general location.

12. Do African people who
are recent immigrants consider themselves African American? Do they fall under that category? Something I've wondered.

14. Hi, eggbeater.
I was going to guess that we are not very representative of US demographics here. Looks like we are not.:hi:

Looking forward to your next poll!
