Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower…

Just because I’m still on this, peep some of this data collected by OKCupid.

But you know, facts aren’t important at all, we live in a magic post-racial utopia. Bolded was all added by me.

• Black women write back the most. Whether it’s due to talkativeness, loneliness, or a sense of plain decency, black women are by far the most likely to respond to a first contact attempt. In many cases, their response rate is one and a half times the average, and, overall, black women reply about a quarter more often that other women.
• White men get more responses. Whatever it is, white males just get more replies from almost every group. We were careful to preselect our data pool so that physical attractiveness (as measured by our site picture-rating utility) was roughly even across all the race/gender slices. For guys, we did likewise with height.
• White women prefer white men to the exclusion of everyone else—and Asian and Hispanic women prefer them even more exclusively. These three types of women only respond well to white men. More significantly, these groups’ reply rates to non-whites is terrible. Asian women write back non-white males at 21.9%, Hispanic women at22.9%, and white women at 23.0%. It’s here where things get interesting, for white women in particular. If you look at the match-by-race table before this one, the “should-look-like” one, you see that white women have an above-average compatibility with almost every group. Yet they only reply well to guys who look like them. There’s more data on this towards the end of the post.
• Men don’t write black women back. Or rather, they write them back far less often than they should. Black women reply the most, yet get by far the fewest replies. Essentially every race—including other blacks—singles them out for the cold shoulder.
• White guys respond less overall. The average reply rate of non-white males is 48.1%, while white guys’ is only 40.5%. Basically, they write back about 20% less often. It’s ironic that white guys are worst responders, because as we saw above they in turn get the most replies. That has apparently made them very self-absorbed.

These are the freakiest statistics I’ve seen in a long time. I suspect they’re fairly unique to the race-relations of the US, but it’s still… disturbing.

Given that OKC has a semi-worldwide membership, I dunno if I’d say this was solely a United States problem but I really have no way of knowing. 

But in general, people need to stop acting like the world outside of America is more enlightened on race. Newsflash: It’s not.

Any country in the world that was touched by imperialism and colonialism, any country in the world that’s been fed a steady diet of Western culture via TV/movies/Music/literature will more likely than not exhibit the same preference towards whiteness and white standards of beauty and the same anti-blackness.

There’s a reason why you have women in Africa and all over Asia damaging their skin with bleaching creams, there’s a reason why countries like Korea and Japan have media which is full of anti-black stereotypes…despite not having any black people.

These behaviors and attitudes are learned and there aren’t many places on Earth where they have not been taught.

this is why there is a black people meet

shut up white people
