White people are known for...

Deconstructionist.jpg

Google Your Race hosts an intriguing "racial profiling experiment". Quite what to make of the results is beyond me though, in all fairness, orcs do make hopeless magic-users.

1) First I entered the following phrases into Google's search engine: "white people are known for", "black people are known for", "Asian people are known for", etc...
2) Next I recorded what came after the "are know for" in Google's search results*.
3) Lastly I took note of the top eight Images that appeared when I searched Google's Image data-base for "black people", "white people", etc... Just for the heck of it, I also did the same for "humans" and "orcs" (see below).

Small sidebar: Shocking red hair, check. Glasses, check. Typing, check. Not only is Rox Populi a goddess (not pictured above) but I imagine she too is a Deconstructionist Weirdo (though I enjoy weirdness in a Lacanian variety pack). I recalled the picture (yes, above) from my own Deconstructionist quiz result when it (the picture) popped up at Rox Populi's blog in the aforementioned "white people" image search; such being the mnemonic efficacy of latex.

You are correct! But, I should clarify that the pic featured in my header is not me. I switch around my site design all the time.

Zut! Though I remain convinced of your loveliness. So... any idea who that is in your header?

Nope. I get all my art from istockphoto.com. ;-)

I never suspected that you have a Pippi Longstocking fetish, Flea!
