CC demographics

<p>According to Quantcast:</a></p>

<p>50% of the site's visitors are male (same for female)
Only 7% are Asian (!!!)
52% are rich kids
63% have already finished college
21% visit this site at work
32% are addicts</p>

<p>Of course, this is for the site as a whole, not just the forums.</p>

<p>LMAO. How was this calculated?! A random sample?</p>

<p>Uh, how would they know if I finished college or not?</p>

<p>Please don't take this as racist (it's not meant to be), but I HIGHLY doubt there are more African Americans than Asians, just from personal experience.</p>

<p>EDIT: And how would they know if we had kids?</p>

<p>I am a male addict, and I am proud.</p>

<p>^ Lmao. Sorry, I read that as "I am addicted to males".</p>

<p>Although... ;).</p>

<p>^ Lol, was that a gay joke?!</p>

<p>^ditto</p>

<p>And I find it hard to believe that only 52% of this site is composed of rich people, unless the definition of rich here is a 3 person family making over $500,000/yr and not like $175,000/yr (which is my definition LOL).</p>

<p>Sounds like one! What's the rebuttle here? Floor is open.</p>

<p>That study is totally bogus. 7% Asian? I don't think so. And more than 52% have to be rich kids. Just take a look sometime at the threads about clothes, and see how many people say they wear Ralph Lauren and Lacoste. I think that survey is too generous with its estimate of diversity on CC.</p>

<p>I have no comeback....maybe....nope...nothing.</p>

<p>How would this be calculated?</p>

<p>rmadden, no I really did read that as "I am addicted to males" lol. But yes, the second part was <em>almost</em> a gay joke... :).</p>

<p>ASC, actually a good chunk of us come from pretty poor backgrounds. There was a thread on it a while back.</p>

<p>That survey is crazy, try 70 percent asian, not 7.</p>

<p>But then again, what do some people consider rich. </p>

<p>Pluck a man out of the southside of chicago and ask him what he thinks is rich and how he'd display his wealth if he had the funds vs. a young well-to-do investment banker down on wall street. </p>

<p>Its like the argument: with a million bucks would you get grillz or open a hedge fund.</p>

<p>^ I would get grillz, no question.</p>

<p>i heard they hurt pretty bad.</p>

<p>After having braces, I don't think I'd get grillzz....I'd rather not go there again.</p>

<p>For CC purposes, I'll define rich as those who will not need financial aid to attend college.</p>

<p>^ Perfect deff for CC. :)</p>

<p>Even rich kids can need FA. You pay $40k a year to go to some uppity private school when your parents make a combined income of $100k+ (rich, and I can change that to $150k and it'd still be the same) and have to pay for a couple more kids' tuitions as well, you'll probably still need some FA.</p>
