I personally know more Black people who have used those sites than White people...and I’m sure that many Hispanics, especially whose families have been here for generations, have made use of those services, too.

RE: I personally know more Black people who have used those sites than White people.

Can I recall a crude and cruel joke?
Doonesbury had a series of strips as the Roots book and TV movies were at the top in popularity.

At a library, the young black guy’s pal was found to be at a work table between tall stacks of thick volumes of ship boarding list records and histories of countries.

“Would all this be Roots related may I ask?”

“I’m, uh, just doing some research about my background.”

“Well, if you ever track down who your father was, let me know.”

That is interesting.

White people out number Black people in the USA by 4 to 1, according to the Census Bureau.
