There are not more Asians than Caucasians on PriusChat, according to the graphs. And, I don’t think the bar graph bar for Asians is incorrect. The pie chart on the left of each category apparently shows the percentage of each category represented on PriusChat. The bar graph on the right of each category has an “X” axis labelled “Index.” I think it shows the percentage of each of the figures on the pie chart with respect to the internet average. For example, in the ethnicity category of the survey, the pie chart indicates that Asians represent approximately four percent of the participants on PriusChat. Looking at the bar graph on the right, this appears to indicate that this four percent represents approximately 114 percent of the internet average. So, there is a higher percentage of Asians on PriusChat than on the internet as a whole, but not more Asians than Caucasians on PriusChat. In fact, 92 percent of the participants on PriusChat appear to be Caucasian. These graphs are a little clumsy in my opinion.

Whether that means we're smarter is probably up for argument.

With a jillion prior posts, the topic was already posted, and of course Danny beat many to the punch. Here's the link someone else posted about a year ago, saying the same thing in a different way:

Hybrid Owners: Wealthier, Healthier, Smarter Than The Rest of Us | Autopia from Wired.com

But here's the funny thing ... if we're all so dang smart ... how come so few of us know how to use the search tool ?!? ... and how come so many of us keep rescuing those who don't look for their own self ?!? How come none of the FHOP folks never convince the other side to agree ?!? Now THAT's the answer you can't find on PC

The answer is simply "no".

However American males who post on message boards seem to have the following:

An extremely hot wife or girlfriend
A very high paying job.
Achieve better fuel economy and performance than anyone else.
Can out run, out fight, out weightlift just about anyone.
Have extremely well endowed "organs"
Rarely if ever do message board posters make a mistake of any kind, and if they do... It is somepone else's fault.

Who gives a rip, really?

So say that anyone is smarter than the "average American" is not really saying much at all ...

After the "No Fat Chicks" remark in another thread, I'm inclined to say no. :P
