Twitter can reveal a ton about racial and gender inequality What can Twitter tell us about gender and racial inequality? Quite a lot.
According to a study by researchers at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, the top 1 percent of Twitter users with the most followers comprised of 57% males and 43% females. That’s okay – except that the researchers had surveyed 53% of women and 47% men in total, reflecting a stark gender inequality.
White people were also 16% more likely to follow other white people, while black people were 200% more likely to follow other blacks. Asians on the other hand were the opposite, and were 10% less likely to follow other Asians. You may read more on the study here.
Makcik Chicken Wins Stomachs With More Than A Little Ayam In Singapore, the humble makcik or “coffeeshop auntie” is a well-revered figure. Why?
