so if you do not mind please share your input,

thank you :)

I chose the first one, since it most likely fits best with your statistics.
In fact I'm not burning easily.
Your first point would mostly fit with people in England or skandinavian countries. But the second option isn't working for me either.

I would not use internet or website polls for any research because all such polls are horrendously inaccurate.
What is your research for, if I may ask? Are you doing a thesis, or just interested or what? How would you filter out the NTs and the trolls? How would you adjust for socioeconomic class and location and availability of online computers?

Jesus man!

For Christs sake!

I do not know any of all of that ... f**k man ... if i had the man power and the funding i would do it differently but sadly this is all i got ... most the "NT" world is too obsessed with finding marketable drugs to even bother with my "idealistic" point of view ...

i just stopped seeing color a few months ago and life changed ... yet i had this assumption that we(As nation) were predominately white... as in not the "fridge mother" crap again as in the .. evolution again ... not as in white shall rule the world sense ... as in the whites on average can not only be diagnosed easier but also get very different medical treatment as far as vaccines ... and then not to say i believe that the polio vaccine is a cause but it is a factor ... they have proven that ... and then i think how easy it is for a white kid to get caught up in the race ... there is no actual culture attached to a white Americans other than pride and arrogance with a lot of ignorance ... but then i think about all of that and say ... step one mother f****r is find out how many of you are actually white ... because if this is the first time white and more importantly white America has been socially outcast based onsomething they can not 100% control ... that's the white racial barrier ... or something like that ...

see it is tough to tell how much is one or another ... we can take responsibility for our current actions sure .... but even then if we can not find out why we are who we are we can never hope to find the origin and THAT IS THE FINAL SOLUTION.

we have been tooled from day one when you think about it ... even God's words are being misquoted.

these days we all seek elightenment because of lots of things but mainly poor childhoods ... be it always introverted and wanted to go out and make friends or always extroverted but just wanted to read ... we could make up a million plus things about the human psyche before we even began to realize ... We all bleed red, we all breath oxygen, we all die of natural causes ... even poison is natural.

it just makes no sense to me but for part of my new life I decided to actually try and follow through on something ...

yesh you are right though ... I can not for the life of me understand Trolls and people who choose to do s**t because they are bored ... you are bored? then do something ... do not act like a child and behave like an infant ... I am 22 and plan to learn how to behave like a man ... but i never actually think to worry i just do ... its a naturl effect of deep thinking ... so is paranoia and the likes ... i just do not want to end up like history's best ... much prefer the idea of finding reality and the balence between worlds ...

in your head you are god outside your head you are amungst them ... whatever you desire you can have it is just a matter of patience and the unknown that play roles ... for us it is harder because we are not born so lucky ... but then again maybe we are ... the cure for polio ... if that was the cause ... then maybe we could rework the formula?

but how do we know what is the cause ... when in fact it does not matter ... what matters is social acceptence and intelligence ... ever hear of Alexandria?

Old school Alexandria would be a great thing to have again ... we could have that ... imgaine if the United States became the for most place to learn ... the best of the best come here ... we could have that ... if we had population control and intelligent buisness men in office ... people who truly care about the little man because they remember being one ...

just a thought ... oh and also to the person who posted ---Ninja

Frak off mate ... being cute is not what this was designed for ... be cute on your own time.

I was maning to put up a slot for Pac Islanders and such ... indonesial and all that ... but geografically i figured my main gial was to see how many "whites" were AS diagnosed ...

Great post Zane. I think you are on to something.

I thought the same thing and also wondered why so many people on the spectrum are white. Not just white but the Aryan sort who seem to lean toward thinking that we are on the cutting end of evolution. Yes, I do subscribe to some of those ideas too but then again I also believe I was in with the Nazi's in my past life. 8O

No, I am not a Nazi!! ! I come in peace. 8)

Hey thank you! Just you alone proved me wrong ;)

See in the end my "ultimate" goal is culture not color so to have a black rep for the AS community is a huge thing.

Especially if you think about it on a global stand point ... if you are inner city also which Chi Town is ... then you rep a large part of the "unlabled" spectrum or as I like to call them "sleepers" ... so the story goes ... the unaware are informed by the aware and in the end we find the solution ... end all.

PS: you lucky bastard I miss Giordano's pizza so much ... it is like the highlight of my childhood. I can still taste the fresh mozzarella and meat oh and the fact it was soo greasy ... hell yeah if it fill the cup thats some good stuff ;)

Magus, glad you liked it :wink: as for the "natzi" thing ... atonement is a tricky b***h, be careful what you wish for. Natzi's however were predominantly German so unless you got "soul f****d" i got a feeling you're safe. Most natzi tool sheds would have been reincarnated as animals of some kind ... so they could get back in touch with nature ;) or re learn what true dominance and following is about ... imagine being reincarnated as a gazelle(African deer) ... interesting idea.

And finally for the Denmarkian ... what do they call you? I got to say way to rep the North my friend :) Nice to know we are not all anchored here in "Americana"

Ya, I'm pretty white, I mean I have a tan because I do a lot of walking (work, the store, taking care of my dogs) but I'm definitely from a European descent.

Is this black / white thing an American thing?

Where I live, we are all brown. Some of us have light brown skin, some medium, some dark. But we are ALL brown.

America is culturally diverse so to answer your question; yes ... we have all types of people here ...

I voted fair with olive tan, but I might be closer to the first option. I really don't tan...I burn really easily and my hair is very dark.
My mom is of Irish/Welsh/New York-American descent, and comes from a flock of red-headed freckled siblings though she has mouse-brown hair-blue eyes-freckles...Her grandfather was from Ireland.

My dad's side is all Czech..from both grandparents. On my paternal grandmothers side they look very white-European. On my paternal grandfather's side, in a photo of my great grandfather standing abreast with his two sons, they look like a troupe of gypsy acrobats. Short, with dark olive complexions and big noses. There are many factors that lead me to believe there is at least a smudge of gypsy blood from that side of the family.

I am African-American, but your categories don't really work...I am not "black as night"...neither am I "half n half". I am an average African-American with caramel brown skin.
