[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50. Probably would've been higher if it were geared towards AAs. The movies, shows, and evangelical questions for example were geared towards a white audience. That said, I am middle class with working class parents, so still accurate.[/quote]

Not sure I agree with that.  Read the explanations.

I also disagree with your premise.  The movies, shows and evangelical questions are based on census Nielson, census, and related data which is across the country and does not take race into account.  There were all across-the-board most popular in their categories.  In general the more wealthy AA's tend to be more like the more wealthy whites.  There is greater diversity with the middle and lower classes.  So essentially, the lower the score, the more closely AA and white respondants will score alike.  The higher the score, the more likely there will be a bigger diversity between races.[/quote]

I'm the poster who was originally quoted. I don't want to go too far off topic, but I don't find that to be true at all. I think its a misconception. For example, educated upper middle class blacks still tend to pledge Black Greeks, even when there isn't a strong presence on campus in comparison to white frats. Sanaa Lathan and crew in "Something New" is a pretty accurate example of what I mean. Virtually every black upper middle class person will know who she is...will every upper middle class caucasion? probably not.

Also, the article begins with something like White upper class people are losing their minds. That's who this survey had in mind (nothing wrong with it).[/quote]
