If youve managed to make it this far in life without quite figuring out what demographic boxes to tick on the Census form, a recent working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research might have some clues for you. According to the Washington Post, University of Chicago economists Marianne Bertrand and Emir Kamenica taught machines to guess a persons income, political ideology, race, education, and gender based on either their media habits, their consumer behavior, their social and political beliefs, and even how they spent their time. The results are, at times, surprisingly granular and seemingly nonsensical: Owning a pet and a flashlight is a strong indicator of whiteness, as is a proclivity towards Vlasic pickles and Stove Top stuffing mix. Others are disappointing, like the fact that the attitude most indicative of whiteness is approval of police striking citizens.

Some citizens need striking.
Problem?

homeownership, a privilege that has long been denied to people of color due to red-lining and historically discriminatory housing policies. Give it a rest.

There’s enough salt in that stuff to cure a couple of hams.

It's so OK to stereotype white people that they're using machines to do it.
It would be interesting to see what sorts of things could be used as "a strong indicator of blackness," but I'm pretty sure I can guess quite a few of those without the need of any computer software, and those results will never be published in Slate.
