Look man, we're not making this shit up to make you feel bad. I got absolutely nowhere on OKC when I still had "Indian" listed as ethnicity. (male born and raised in USA) For months at a time. Only when I left it blank did people start messaging me at all.

The point seems simple: don't claim to be doing research if you're not actually doing research. If you're just kludging user submitted data and a bunch of user clicks into Excel for your blog posts don't try to claim it has any more validity than "shit we made up".
'burgers' has never had to think about it, and doing so offends him. 'dangerous' conclusions. LOL. it's seriously amazing how fucking oblivious people can be to the world that goes on around them, isn't it?
