I am not creating this poll for any particular reason, other than curiosity. Apart from us all being a part of the "Star Wars" demographic, what are some of the other demographic qualities of the members of originaltrilogy.com?

Huh, I wonder if we really have a black female around. Out of all the SW fans I have known, I am pretty sure I have never known a black female one. It is a fanbase that seems to be pretty much occupied by nerdy white males. Especially with the general type of conversation that goes on here I cannot help but think perhaps somebody clicked that one for fun.

Yeah, that one bamboozled me, too. I think it'd be great if there was a black female here (because it means that someone outside the "white nerdy male" demographic frequents our boards), so if you really do exist, please make your presence known. ^_^

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Those were my exact thoughts.

Yeah, I was semi-quoting you. I looked back and read that and realized it kinda sounded like my reasons were rather... oddly ambiguous for desperately wanting a black female on these boards, so I just wanted to clarify.

Race and gender are herein irrelevant. All that matters here is one's level of nerdliness.

Yeah, you do look pretty white on your picture, but of more interest to me is how your MySpace claims you're 19 instead of 14.

Ah, I think it's very possible. Who knows though. It was probably Rob messing around.

What's your preferred term for your "Indian" side? I know it differs a lot with everyone.

I want the black female to reveal herself if possible. It was probably Rob though.

And you like Michael Savage?

25 white males and counting out of 28 polled. It will be interesting if we can get a larger turnout, though. It's not a big enough sample to extrapolate a conclusion from.

You are never going get a good sample. There are a good deal of members who only show up once in a while, and there are a good number who never even come to the off topic.

You know it is going to be a huge pool of white males ranging from early teen years to their 50s with a few others thrown in. Even with a bigger pool, I am not sure how accurate we could be. Also you have to rely on the honesty of the posters, and that is not a sure thing.

Are you really? If so, I'm glad it wasn't just some messing around with the poll results.

I just noticed we have some Latin folks here too! Good deal. I'm glad to see that this place isn't just a bunch of creepy white guys (myself included).

Hey, who ya calling creepy? I resent that. I personally find white Star Wars fans much less creepy than those of other races. I mean, those other races have their own little quirks and things, the nerdy science fiction fan (I mean "White and Nerdy"? Says it all doesn't it?) belongs to the white race. Not saying other races can't be fans of science fiction or Star Wars, but just saying that for a black guy to take being a nerd to the level whites guys do, would be just as silly as the white guy who thinks he is a rapper.

Now that I have probably offended just about everybody I think it is about time I stopped typing.

EDIT: Hey, what do you know, my 800th post.

Ah, I was just joking.

But seriously, I think everyone of every race can be equally nerdy or cool. The "white nerd" is really just a stereotype. There are non-white nerds who are just as nerdy. I don't think any one race has more control over the nerd stocks.
