Tell me how skin color determines that AT ALL. Tell me how skin color has a bearing on culture, when its obvious geography(where you grow up) and culture have the most bearing. This is how you get kids like Eminem, or punk rock black kids like me when I was in high school. We are products of our environment.
No one is arguing that skin color determines anything. This isn't a study of causation. Correlation does NOT equal causation. This is a study of what IS, no matter what the causation is. In other words according to this 'study' (very unscientific at that), people find that middle eastern females ARE the most promiscuous. It is NOT a study that determines BECAUSE a girl is middle eastern, they will be more promiscuous. If you don't understand that than you don't understand basic statistics.
It correlates because, in the instance of the USA, hundreds of years of systemic racism created a socio economic gap and differences based on race. So its invalid.
This only makes it more valid. Your argument was that if anything this study should be about socio-economic status rather than race. I argued that they both correlate. You agreed, therefore you prove my point. That's why it is valid.
We perceive ourselves as black because Europeans and Arabs branded those of African descent as black. However I know a kid who is mixed white and black, and grew up in a mixed household. However he identifies more with his black heritage, even tho he is an Abercrombie suburban kid.
Wanna know why? Because whites have tended to never accept him as being partly white. He is always the mixed kid or some other term. At least with black he cannot be seen differently for having a different skin tone because "black" has many skin tones of brown.
This may be true but this study doesn't really care whether someone identifies themselves as black or white 'culturally', that is way too complex for this study and has way too many implications. This study is only concerned with statistical analysis. You are making it way too complicated.
The results of the page are from a bunch of guys whos experiences are highly varied due to our different classes and geographies. Plus most guys on this forum are white, and more guys on this forum chase white women the most. However the poll says middle eastern women are the sluttiest, which is laughable as they are generally very conservative and only date other middle eastern, and usually muslim, men.
Hence someone is fvcking with the results. Because most guys here, Id guess, have not even experienced a middle eastern women. Which is evidence by how little they are ever talked about, or have ever been talked about in this forum.
I have no idea about who is being polled as for demographics and I agree that it is very unscientific. But you also can't for certain that someone is messing with the results. Just leave it how it is, a very bad scientific study.
Listen I know where you are coming from. Race is a very sensitive issue, but I hate it when it comes in the way of scientific study just because something like this is 'politically incorrect' and someone becomes sensitive to it because their race is involved.
Other than that, I enjoy making rational arguments with you Jaylan.
