42, don't speak Mandarin, have a car, not a Christian. So I'm batting .500

Christian is typical now? I'm honestly surprised, no snark.

/Speak a little bit of Mandarin from required foreign language classes in college
/not Christian, earn more than $12K, have a bank account though

Whew...snuck in under the 4 billionth mark on the linked calculator. Nothing but riffraff and queers past 4 billion...

Are you 28, speak Mandarin, right-handed, own a cell phone, don't have a car or bank account, Christian, and make less than $12K/year?

I will be this year
no
no
yes
no
hell no
yes

No, no (English is the language of business, I don't care what anyone says), yes, no, no, yes, yes.

Slightly under .500.

/does dating a Jew get me any perks?

I'm 53, speak Yue, am right-handed, I don't own a cell phone, I have a car and a bank account, atheist, and make way more than $12K/year.

I AM one of the something something %.

If >$12,000 is average I guess a lot of Americans are in the 1% of income globally.

You forgot the hyena.

No, yes, no, no, yes, no, no.

I am the #28.57percent.

That sounds just like my buddy Muhammad Lee

28 for one more week, no mandarin- English, Spanish, and Japanese fit my life better, I am proficient with both hands, I do own a basic cell phone, I have a car, I have a bank account, I have no religion, and I make more than 12k/year.

So I am 3/16th's average give or take. I'm not sure if that makes me above or below average though.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Are you 28, speak Mandarin, right-handed, own a cell phone, don't have a car or bank account, Christian, and make less than $12K/year?

55, read Mandarin somewhat, righty but should have been a lefty I feel, yes cellphone, get around by motorbike, Jewish, >$12K. Cellphone and no car for sure, the rest barely or not at all.

Oh, and I was born about #2,750,000,000.

Kevin72:. . . Jewish, >$12K. . .

Isn't this redundant?

(I kid.)

itazurakko: Christian is typical now? I'm honestly surprised, no snark.

As typical as anything, I guess. Not an absolute majority, but a plurality at around 33% or so.

3/8. So like 80 percent typical. P

bu ke nong, ni shi sha bi!

I make over $12,000 a year hell my rent is over $12,000 a year. Am female, 37, don't own a car, have a bank account and have a cell phone. Do not speak Mandarin and am not Christian in fact I am no religion, am right handed but bat left.

doglover: The difference is, in Thailand where salaries are much lower, 20% of what I make now could get me a sweet apartment and a flat screen while in Tokyo I can't even afford to toss out my old CRT because a replacement would be insanely expensive for a single man.

A wayyyyys back, down in Southern Thailand, I was making 7K a year teaching young Thai women how to speak English.
Best 2 years of my life.
"Poverty" wages can buy you happiness my son, as long as you live in the right place.

That puts you squarely in the "abomination" category.

I'm 25, speak English and a little French, am mixed-handed, own a cell phone, am car and bank account-less, Christian and make around $12K (I think).

who the fark doesnt have a bank account?

FTFA: He fits the profile National Geographic came up with based on a set of data points that concluded there are 9 million Han Chinese men

Soooo, is that like a Chinese version of Han Solo?

People don't realize how rich the typical American is. Even a poor American is wealthy on the global scale.

It kind of adds a new element to the whole 'top 1%' concept.

"No, no, no, I don't think that I should have to give money to starving kids in Africa, I just meant the top 1% of super rich Americans should give money to me....someone who is already wealthy by the lower standards found throughout the rest of the world. I don't care that the typical Mexican earns 4.6k per year which is rich compared to the median Indian earner. No, I don't support higher taxes on *ME* to give them a better life. No, I don't want to talk about the inequalities a poor child in rural India faces when compared to the life my child will have. None of that is what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about people richer than *me* who should be taxed more so that I can have more. I don't care about those other people. They are really poor, but umm, I don't want to give up anything I have for them. They aren't like us, they are different. So yeah, let's just focus on really, really, really rich people and their money and how we should take more of it and give it to kinda rich people, like myself'

Fark_Guy_Rob: I'm talking about people richer than *me* who should be taxed more so that I can have more.

Yeah, because it's all about handouts, and not to educate, build up, heal, and defend the nation.

Idiot.

Uh...I own a cell phone.



/atypical

according to the article, the guy fits the criteria for the most typical person in the world, but he makes $12k and lives in NYC...?

Does he live in a cardboard box??
