swphreak Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I don't really consider 46% a minority. I think Bioware got it right. Sooner or later, most of the population of Earth will be tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'd rather be tan than an uber-pale white, actually... BTW, a random question of mine: how many great apes have black/white/tan skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Sooner or later, most of the population of Earth will be tan. Well I'm already there. At least most of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Answer: all the ones classified as homo sapien sapien. I'll make it clearer... How many species of great apes have black skin, how many species have tan skin, and how many species have white skin? (I'm asking this because I wonder if this calculation about skin color relates to any related species') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Humans are great apes, so the answer is "at least one". Gorillas have black skin, but not the same way we classify "black skin" when speaking about humans so I'm not sure how that fits into the equation. Same for chimps. Orangutans are just funky so they don't really count. Therefore the answer could be 25%, 50%, or 75% depending on how you decide to define "black". EDIT: and to further clarify, "white" and "tan" are 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Bring it. Hmm, when I got linked to this thread in the skypechat I thought it was in Kavar's. I don't know if we've already had the illegal immigrant discussion there - if not, go ahead and start the thread. I'll show _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Seems like a fair census to me. But agreeing with Igyman, the article seems to contain a little hint on xenophoby or, at least, it makes it looks like a delicate problem that should be somehow dealt with. (I'm asking this because I wonder if this calculation about skin color relates to any related species') Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Census Beauru... >.> Im skeptical about anything put out in this report really. They make it sound like that white people are on the decline, and that no new caucaisions are going to be born after the "55% under 5" grow up and have children... The whole report just smacks of silly and lack of objectivity... </opinion> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We are going to have children, but not enough of them to prevent a decline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Let's also consider the fact that mixed couples, thus mixed children are on a rise. I hope soon people will drop these pointless colorbased groupings and understand we're all dirty, dirty sexual animals. That said, I loves me some dark meat.

Rinku Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am perfectly fine with not being in the majority. Only about 4 out of my 25 friend are Caucasian. (I actually think I have more than 25 friends but who is counting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druganator Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 weve been doin it since the dawn of time i mean we used to hate the other species, cro magnon and homo sapiens the homo sapiens killed off the cro magnons and then all the homo sapiens evolved into homo sapien sapiens and then they evolved difrent skintones in different areas so they hated eachother for that and im sure by the time were all one race that religion will probly be all thats different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
