Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

  • How incredible to see the effect of political messaging on citizen/voter perception. It is that the exaggerations, lies, and outrage marketing clearly have an outsized effect. I wouldn’t say the US population is dumb. But I would say the manipulation of perception is too much for the average person to do their own research and come up with unbiased facts.

    ***To those dismissing this based on inconsistencies between topics, you can’t make those comparisons. There is some blending of data in the methodology that is appropriate in order to look at the range. This is only about the gap between perception and reality, and a stack rank.

    • What the Fuck happened with Gen X?

  • Here is GenX

    41% make up the US House of Representatives 28% make up the US Senate 42% of governors

    Some GenXers: Elon Musk Jeff Bezos (squeaked in) Jack Dorsey (Formerly Twitter) Michael Dell (Dell CEO) Satya Nadella (MSFT CEO)

    And in 2018, about 40% of F500/Inc500 CEOs were GenX.

    So, not missing. We just don’t wear our generational name as a badge. What’s the point?
