I have always been put under this impression that forums and the internet in general is generally a Liberal/lefty strongfield.
I am starting to think things are more evened out.
For fun, I want to compared CKA demographics to Canadian demographics. CKA is the biggest Canadian forum I know of so yeah.
The categories are basic:
RACE
Canada - - - >
White - 86.6%
Chinese - 3.5%
South Asian - 3.1%
Black - 3.0%
Filipino 1.0%
Latin American - 0.7%
Southeast Asian - 0.7%
Arab - 0.7%
West Asian - 0.4%
Korean - 0.3%
Japanese - 0.2%
Visible minority - 0.3%
Multiple visible minorities - 0.2%
Total visible minority population - 13.4%
Source: Statistics Canada, 2001 Census, 97F0010XCB2001002
For this category I am just going to go by White / Non White, and I'll break it up by for Canada 85/15
RELIGION
Christianity - 77%
No Religion/Atheism - 16.5%
Other Religions - 6%
SEXUAL ORIENTATION
2003: A survey of 135,000 Canadians found that 1.0% of the respondents identified themselves as homosexual and 0.7% identified themselves as bisexual. About 1.3% of men considered themselves homosexual, almost twice the proportion of 0.7% among women. However, 0.9% of women reported being bisexual, slightly higher than the proportion of 0.6% among men. 2.0% of those in the 18-35 age bracket considered themselves to be either homosexual or bisexual, but the number decreased to 1.9 among 35-44 year olds, and further still to 1.2% in the population aged 45-59. Quebec and British Columbia had higher percentages than the national average at 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively
Straight - 98%
Gay - 1%
Bi - 1%

Ok all the stats are Canadian demographics, once the thread slows down I'll collect all the responses and see if we are or are not representative of the demographics of Canada.
Okay then -
