Wow, Wretched is very smart.

 

[F8AL]

I dunno, I'll look around. I did a project on unemployment in 2010, so I'm sure I can find some sources.

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t02.htm
There we go.
If I may, here are just some snippets from that.
August 2010
White: 8.6% unemployment
Black: 16.3% unemployment
Asian: 7.2 unemployment

August 2011
White: 8.0
Black: 16.7%
Asian: Nothing for asians.

Intentional.

 

[Wretched]

Its funny because you're asian unemployed
I am unemployed as well.

 

[F8AL]

Nice edit, bro.

 

[Spelt]

OH SNAP.
Don't worry F8al, i'll hold your earrings.

 

[Wretched]

Originally it was

It is funny because you're






unemployed

But I went with a more direct route, and I also edited in a sympathy portion, because I really don't have a job right now.

By percentage, there are more unemployed African-Americans than White Americans.

BUT, White Americans outnumber Black Americans by about 8 to 1 (300 million white, 38 million black).

8% of 300 million = 24 million
16% of 38 million = 6 million
24 > 6

Thus, there are more unemployed whites in America than unemployed blacks.

 

[ZIO]

Back peddling.

You ain't got balls, wretch.

I'll do it for you.

It's because you're unemployed.

+1 Gates..

 

[Vinylic.]

Stop regretting.

You're right. I need to get that teryble feeling in my head. It's f8ally ill.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Very punny, guy.

 

[Wretched]

+1 Gates..

Yeah, I forgot to mention that.

Spoiler

The only change since then is that the numbers have generally gone up, but they're the same percentages and ratios.

There are MORE unemployed white people than any other race, but if you're black, you're more likely to be unemployed, and if you're asian, you're more likely to BE employed. Just statistics.

JK.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Health wealth gradient among other stuff, but yeah most of the unemployed in America are actually whites. =\

I was never talking about percentages.

 

[Vinylic.]

Very punny, guy.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Gates isn't just any *******...

He's a smart *******.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Gates]

Would you really do that to me?

Yes. He would. Trust me.

*ylyl reference.

You Laugh You Lose?

Gates isn't just any *******...

He's a smart *******.

Smooth Criminal

Also, I wasn't aware that we had a emoticon now.
