Why does LUGNET (in general) attract well educated white males? From my
observations, Larry is right. LUGNET does not represent the statistical
make-up of the countries in which it resides. Is this due to education?
Economical status? Genetics? Lunar phase? Who knows?
The LP is probably like LUGNET in that it attracts a certain kind of person,
who just happens to be the higher educated white male. Is this
discriminatory? No, because there doesn't seem to be a conspiracy to keep
anyone out. It just means that a certain type of individual is attracted to
the organization.
Just because I participate in a community where people who look, act and
think like me reside, doesn't mean that it's a racist community. It just
means that we tend to attract people who look, act and think like us.
Sometimes the simple answer is the right one....
