1 "Asians" is not an ethnic group. Chinese and Indians are the same?
2 2/3rds of what? Significant Google users? Because that is what is relevant here.

[vetran]

Is it actually disproportionate? I believe whites are the largest ethnic group globally and the proportion in more advanced/richer nations is certainly much higher.

Don't know the exact stats for Google users but experience suggests that people who come out with such discrimination stuff rarely do either.

Asians - 2/3rds.

FTFY...

Gives them all something to discuss while they are doing the ironing at least.

What is this "ironing" of what you speak?

[northernladuk]

its strong girls making a stand.

remember it can't be racism if the person saying N*gger is black and its not sexism if you have all female shortlists.

Maybe it's just me, but does it not seem strange that an organisation that is so committed to equality and the promotion of non-discriminatory policies - is composed of a single gender

"Our SPARKteam is made up of engaged, passionate girls and young women"

Hard work to get hold of her to give her a bit of MTT though no?

Never mind; I've got a damn good woman of my own. She isn't independently wealthy yet, but she will be when she inherits half a province of farmland .

How does a 14 year old that likes comics and childrens books know enough about feminism and life in general to put reasoned and balanced arguments forward on such a complex topic? Does she have an opinion or has just indoctrinated?

Children can have some the rawest new ideas because they haven't already been told all their ideas are unoriginal and wrong.

[northernladuk]

No.

This lady's more to my taste. She's not stunningly good looking, but quite attractive, would brush up well with a trip to the right boutiques, closer to my age, physically fit, well travelled, independently wealthy and obviously intelligent. You see, my taste is not as simple as some people think.

Mich if your tastes weren't complex we wouldn't value your opinion.

Some here would do almost anything.

[Mich the Tester]

It has to be asked - all those young ladies... would Mich?

Looking at the ages I think he would be committing numerous crimes if he said he would!

On the age thing, and I am probably start a flame war but bearing in mind I can't trust my teenager to make a decision about tying his own shoelaces, they seem very young to be putting forward a balanced and reasoned argument about anything.

I mean, fair play to the girl, I am sure she will go far but...

Cori Fulcher, 14, is a sophomore in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She loves comics, film, and children’s books. She is passionate about combating sexualization in comics as a medium and an industry, intersectional feminism, and ending rape culture. When not writing for SPARK she is a member of her school’s feminist club, runs Cross-Country, frets over her Girl Scout Gold Award, and works on her zine (readership of one).

I'd rather hope not given a lot of them are of school age
