Wow. well done Internet, this is probably to do with broad demographics.

where did you find this anyway?
If I had to guess......the library. Defiantly the library.
Where else could someone get access to near limitless amounts of information and come across something this ground breaking?!

Ok, I'm done...sry >.>

Me except for the last two, I'm not racist and I'm agnostic so I really don't know if that counts or not.

It sounds like somone just found out what kind of people use the internet the most and there you go.

I AM
-Male
-Age 16
-Bisexual
-Grew up in the middle class but don't actually play that many video games
-Not sure it's my place to say but predicted almost all A*s at GCSE so I don't think I can be classed as an underachiever
-Not at all racist
-Non-Religious

3 1/2 out of 7, so half right not bad I guess. Out of interest, does this list apply specifically to the Escapist or the internet in general?

How can you not know what gender you are?

Maybe you want to be the opposite gender but you must still be one gender, right?


OT:

Pretty spot-on, but I'm pretty sure i am omnisexual...
Hehe, what exactly is "omnisexuality"? You'll just shag anything you can? Like, man, woman, animal, living, dead, is all irrelevant to you?

Male, bisexual, 21.
No, I read a lot of books when I was younger and moved onto video games quite late. Probably in a middle class area, what can I say? The cul-de-sac is nice.
Underperformed in school, perform slightly above average in college, I.Q around 120-130.
Don't bother with racism.
I have never had a religion in my entire life.

I think it may say something about all of us that we all instinctly answer as if to say "challenge accepted".

-Above-average intelligence and not particularly motivated

-Agnostic, and not particularly interested in whatever religion is being pandered to me

Sounds about right.
Actually, no, the mere thought that people have races isn't racist whatsoever.
Thank you for your offended flip-response, yes it does.

The thought that other people are different in that they have different races means you treat (if you think of it differently, you treat it differently) them differently. I'm going to the root of the word and I'm not really arguing, it's just what it means at a very basic level.

This is a good description of the "average" person on the internet but I don''t know why that would impress you. Finding that out is just a matter of doing some surveys.

No, no, no. Acknowledging the differences between two things is not treating them differently. I do not think of the people as different, but their skin colour is. Implying that the very idea of race makes everyone a racist is frankly stupid.

I think perhaps you're thinking of the term racist as an insult rather than that it's deeper meaning which is thinking of people in such a way to be different from oneself, I'm not calling everyone a big fat racist, I'm just using the term in a way people don't generally use it.

Also, when I said treat, I explained in parentheses last post that it can mean to think of them differently, I'm definitely NOT saying everyone acts differently towards people of different races.

I know this won't help, but can you not post a reply about how I'm stupid or I'm wrong and just accept that I obviously use the word differently than you?

I AM:

-Male
-19
-Barring the standard "Stupid Sexy Flanders" attraction to Neil Patrick Harris, I liek gurls.
-Upper-middle class, big fan of games.
-Yeah, I'm pretty smart, but I'm really trying to quit slacking off on important stuff. I mean, I'm in college. Academics are actually important now.
-Racist?


No more than these guys :D

-I'm not as religious as I used to be, but I was raised Baptist, and I wouldn't call myself "non-religious".

So, all told? Pretty accurate list. A few discrepancies, but still describes me pretty well.

- Male
- Age 17
- Questionably Straight
- Yeah, although I didn't play as much as I do now.
- I like to think I'm only average intelligence, but the educational system disagrees, kind of forcing me to be an underachiever when I am doing my best.
- Nope. I don't even make racist jokes, but I don't demand that people stop making racist jokes either.
- Atheist, and generally disapproving of organized religions. (Or organized non-religions either. Atheist organizations are just as bothersome to me as religious organizations.)
