Talk about stating the bleeding obivious.

Toto Wolfcastle

I think it's important that there are a lot of men on boards. I mean, who else is going to remind us women that the washing/ironing/dusting/cooking needs to be done?

Earthhorse

I dunno, coastguard?

anonymous_joe

I always thought the Coastguard were missing their true calling.

And yeah, shock horror, forum has more guys, and they're mostly white, in a country that's... mostly white... :rolleyes:

Zulu

I hear the coastguard is mostly white and male.
It's a conspiracy - the crackers are out to get us.

Reku

Take it no-one else has noticed that in some graphs a high score in the "index" (i.e. made up values) gives a high %age whereas in others it gives a low %age, pretty much a case of making the percentages say whatever they want, depending on which set they choose to look at, from what I can see. Apparently we have below average %age of caucasian but above average Asian and "other". They don't seem to give any source figures for the graphs whatsoever. I'd trust the data one might find in dogsh*t they just stepped in more than that site, if nothing else anyone who lied about gender, ethnicity, age, etc... during sign-up is upsetting their figures.

In the meantime though I welcome our Asian overlords and ask only that the do not rule this place like either China or North Korea.

rossie1977

6% african american make up boards.ie viewers, what????????????

i can see it now people from the bronx and south central logging onto boards each morning.....

dsmythy

Too male? Maybe.

Too white? Since the majority of users are from Ireland then i'd imagine the whiteness of it all is about right.
