Two in One Diversity Poll

[LibertyCzar]

This is a double poll.

Now that we know how old each of us are, I thought it would be nice to determine our gender and racial makeup. This is a private, multiple-answer check box poll, two for gender, and at least five for race. Correctly done, everyone should check two boxes.

Hopefully, we can combine this data with the age poll to prove we are a diverse group.

Due to a goof in the terminology: Muslim is not correct. It should be Arab. And Indian is not correct. It should be Native American.

good point hamadeh, i'm not sure if you can edit the poll categories after placing them up...also- indian or native american?
speaking of cape cod, i need to go make me another one. inspire me with your thoughts while i'm gone.

umm, Muslim is not a race. its a religeon, so if your saying "Arabs" the government classifies them under "white"

It's his nice way of finding out how many terrorists are lurking on the boards .

 

[LibertyCzar]

You're right, on both counts. But I would like to leave the Muslim option there, but maybe Arab would be the appropriate term. As for Indian, that was a definite goof. I meant Native Americans.

Maybe he should add a category that is simply labeled "terrorist". knowing the smart-asses on this board, there would be a couple show up in the poll.

Actually, it's an important follow-up to the thread Bryan has about Muslims in another forum. I personally think Ron Paul could have a large Muslim following. But isn't Islam the religion?

the word muslim is descriptive in the way the word christian is used.

.....

Sorry. If you knew I don't believe for one minute that muslims or Islamic Terrorists or Al quada or anyone from the middle east carried out 9/11, but that it was a false flag operation done by our own Government, then it might be funny.

No offense meant...really!

 

[LibertyCzar]

Okay. This needs to be changed to Arab then. And Indian needs to be changed to Native American.

I appreciate the effort on the poll. As a sociologist, this kind of stuff really interests me.
i'm curious how many forum goers watch nasa tv over the net. quietly, i want to know if I'm really that big of a geek.

Muslims are followers of Islam, its like a Jew follows Judaism

But Jew is also an ethnic group, where Muslim is not.

 

[LibertyCzar]

I think the poll should be retracted, I dont get it now, if your trying to find the race, then find race not religeon theres a hugeeee difference between the two.

Either classify Arabs as whites or as there own independent category, but not as muslims since muslims are every race.

Note to everyone, and I am adding this to my first post in this thread:
Muslim = Arab
Indian = Native American

leave it all up.... add the religions too. sex race and religion. or instead of sex, do you want to be more open and ask for gender?

 

[PatriotOne]

Okay. This needs to be changed to Arab then. And Indian needs to be changed to Native American.

Go for it.

Let's leave religion for another poll. I think that in itself could take up 10 options.

This just proves how badly we need to close the borders. We can't keep up with all this diversity!

diversity is good. heterogenuos societies can very prosperous.kinda like the.. US.
