The real stuff white people like

OkCupid analyzed the profiles of 526,000 randomly-selected users to figure out the real stuff white people (and black people, and Asian people, and other races’ people) like. Based on the 280 million keywords used in profile descriptions of the sample set, the dating site’s stat crunchers isolated the words and phrases that pop up most often for different racial groups. NASCAR and the Yankees?! Really, white ladies? You're embarrassing me.

White Men

White Women

Black Men

Asian Women

Middle Eastern Women

Full story at OkCupid. Full set of charts at BuzzFeed.

I find it quite interesting that black women were not posted here. I'm not saying there is any hidden racism, but the hierarchy of the listing HERE from white men & women to then black men and then skip to other races of WOMEN raises questions. And yes behind this white wall is an inquisitive black woman asking the question..and with me are Asian and Hispanic men and women.

We understand including every listing from the original post was unnecessary. Still, the title alone is dangerous! I understand the power of catchy headlines but here's the problem to a careful observer: Under a heading of "What White People Like" is white men, white women, black men, Asian women, and Middle Eastern women. How should that be interpreted? Why not just keep it to "What White People Like" and then said "for other races see the original post at (hyperlink title). That way there would be no point to questioning why some were left out here by the poster.

Alice: I'm getting sick of sensational headlines also but I don't think this ones is of them and it is taken from the article. It's a play on the website http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ which is a joke to make people laugh at themselves.

Yes, the title is a play on http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ and taken from the original OkCupid piece.

Well, I have to agree with Alice. If I were left out, I would have been just a bit miffed. I like to think that what I think is important. Why wouldn't anyone else?

It's almost as if the author here just figured black women didn't read, so why bother to include them.

Sad state of affairs, especially at this time in history.

I want to know what Black women like too. I know you and the authors of this have the damned stats. Why not add the other images to the page? it's not like print where you have space limitations. Okay.. just given me thei number so we can do this article properly. Sheeesh!

I personally think there is nothing wrong with the title or content. Why does everything have to be broken down to "he didn't post anything about x, y, and z"? Jeez people, this is a snippet of the original article, and has links to the originals.

So, and I quote, "especially in this time in history", rather stop ranting about discrimination etc etc, and make the difference by pointing out that this is a re-blog, not the original.

Trust me, as a South African, I am fed up with racially motivated comments and such. This was a comical post, not a "lets analyze the crap out of it, and rant" post. Lighten up, please
