The racial makeup of Jazz fans

[♪alt13]

Interesting topic, but the information is not culled from a survey of people outside arenas or ticket holders. It says right on the posted graphic that the sources are Nielsen (television viewers) and Google trends. Furthermore, Nate Silver, author of the article, says upfront that it's just a crude estimate. His methodology, in his own words:

I used Nielsen estimates of the racial composition of the population in each of the United States’ 210 media markets;

I used the frequency of Google searches for each NBA team in each media market as a proxy for its per-capita popularity;

I multiplied each team’s Google search frequency in each media market by the population by race there, then summed the totals to produce an overall estimate of the racial distribution of its fans;

I recalibrated the estimates to ensure that the whole matched the sum of the parts. In other words, I added or subtracted from the fans assigned from each racial group to each team such that the sum total matched my estimate of the overall distribution of NBA fandom throughout the country (e.g. 46 percent white, 31 percent black, and so forth). The estimates were weighted by the overall popularity of NBA teams, according to their number of Google searches.

So he made it up then.

I came into this thread expecting some pretty lame Black stereotypes, and I was not disappointed. Shaking my damn head, y'all.

I tried to cover it, but in my defense, I only had 2 blankets and they just weren't enough.

"Oi Fabiojazz",

I thought the same thing!

If you consider that anybody that was born in Latin America is Hispanic, then I am Hispanic.

If you consider how you look like, I am white.

If you consider where your family came from, I am everything but asian! I am of European, Native American and African descent.

Race already baaaaarely has meaning. If we just base it on how someone looks, then it is completely devoid of meaning. So let's just pretend that tying it to geo-cultural origin gives it meaning. You are therefore hispanic. Embrace your hispanism.
