If you’ve 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 person’s 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.

Stove top sucks! No serious gastronomist would touch it.

Hmmm.
University of Chicago economists Marianne Bertrand and Emir Kamenica “taught machines to guess a person’s ... political ideology...based on ... their political beliefs...
Must be real difficult for liberals to figure out a person's political ideology knowing their political beliefs.
I'm as white as they come...
Apparently it’s the liberal version of “You might be a redneck...”
This must be satire. If it isn’t, then this person belongs in the loony bin.
Home ownership...... Banks want the borrower to pay back the money.
Can’t pay it back? Sorry.
They’re funny that way.
I didnt meet any of the criteria. Maybe i should call my mother. /s
What a couple of overpaid morons.
What is the usefulness of this tripe?
I have pickled pigs feet and kimchi in my pantry. What does the machine say?
How do you prounounce “ask”? That’s a sure-fire tell.
I was thinking the same thing... sort of.
Watermelon and fried chicken. Yours is a more reliable test.
I’m over 50 and just now find out I may be black?
I’ve missed out on all sorts of prizes! Just today I’ve heard from someone with an Obamaphone, and another in Section 8 housing.
Cheeseburgers, Filet O Fish, orange drink, and strawberry milkshakes.
I once convinced a black co-worker that the Thanksgiving string bean casserole with canned fried onions on top was a secret wipeepo initiation rite.
I’m glad you axed.
I can tell you how those two people spent their time. Making s*** up and laughing about how seriously guilty white people would feel.
Fail.
No cats in our families for at least 3 generations. The fourth generation has zero interest in cats.
Our women and guys make dressing from scratch using local bread aged and diced and mixed with the liver/gizzard and necks of turkeys for stuffing the bird. With Prime Rib, we make our own stuffing from the juices of the Prime Rib and Yorkshire pudding made in the juices of the Prime Rib in the roasting pan.
This fake writer probably spent 10 years in dumb lesbian studies and paid her girl friend to write this fake news posing as a real article.
This is the dreck that universities now “teach”. Time to bulldoze them. Send the so called professors out to the farms and the oil fields to see and maybe learn real work. It would be good to see the deplorables who do the real work go Parris Island on them.
“You are pukes
You are the lowest form of life on earth
You’re not even /////// human beings
You’re nothing but disorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian ////!”
“Slate thinks this is newsworthy/important, of course.”
It has been decades since the liberal loser/weiners at Slate had a real news article.
Owning SPF 25 sun lotion is a pretty reliable indicator too. But what I like best about White Privilege is walking into a bank and having the hundred-dollar bills cascade out of the ceiling like confetti. I guess this doesn’t happen with minorities.
