Okay people, I knew Tuesday’s post would be offensive to some, but I thought it would come across somewhere between Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2 on the Kramer scale (which I just made up to measure racial offensiveness).  I didn’t think I was saying something on a Mind Of Mencia level.  Or maybe you guys did get my humor and were being sarcastic in the comments and I didn’t pick up your sarcasm?  It’s really hard to tell on the internet, without things like inflection.

Everyone understands that correlation does not imply causation, and that observation does not imply judgment, right?  In my experience, there is a correlation: black and hispanic families generally cheer more loudly at graduation ceremonies than white and asian families.  We don’t have to pretend that our cultures are identical; it’s okay that we’re different.  I find it interesting to speculate on the socioeconomic factors that might be causing said correlation, but maybe that is because I’ve found the Freakonomics blog to be an excellent place to waste time lately.

Also, I don’t really care if someone I don’t remember ever meeting doesn’t like that my hand-drawn graphs, with arbitrary axes and data points, don’t convey clear, scientific information.  I think they’re funny, and there will be more on this site in the future.  I’ll just stick to less sensitive topics.  Like religion and politics.

I wanna roll with the gangstas, but so far they all think I’m too white and nerdy
