Racial profiling by OKCupid
 

http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/th...e-people-like/

"We selected 526,000 OkCupid users at random and divided them into groups by their (self-stated) race. We then took all these people's profile essays (280 million words in total!) and isolated the words and phrases that made each racial group's essays statistically distinct from the others'.

For instance, it turns out that all kinds of people list sushi as one of their favorite foods. But Asians are the only group who also list sashimi; it's a racial outlier. Similarly, as we shall see, black people are 20 times more likely than everyone else to mention soul food, whereas no foods are distinct for white people, unless you count diet coke.

Using this kind of analysis, we were able find the interests, hobbies, tastes, and self-descriptions that are specially important to each racial group, as determined by the words of the group itself. The information in this article is not our opinion. It's data, aggregated from the essays of half a million real people."

Take a look and discuss.

It talks about different races eating different foods. Of course, what you eat is not about race. It's more about what's available for you to eat locally.

I drink Pepsi, motherfucker. :2 cents:

I am equally disappointed in the profile text findings of all races.

The "soul food" kinda surprised me. I have a healthy appreciation of soul food, but I havent heard that said that often. Maybe because I spend most of my time in the south.

Fatfoo, do you list "Curry" as your favourite food on OKCupid?
