Are all the major empires racist?

[Merdaneth]

And you’ll miss the point. With a sample size that small, you can’t really draw a meaningful comparison. 10% of the Republic? Where do you get that number? I’d be shocked if there are 3 billion non-ethnic Matari in the Republic, let alone more than 300 billion.

I have no data on this. However, even with a 1% etnic to non-ethnic proportions, odds are lower than a bar of gold suddenly assembling itself out of atoms next to you.

What I can’t tell on the basis of the data, is if this bias is true for the entire population. But the (statistically significant) bias is definitely there for capsuleers and agents interacting with them.

My question (and title of this topic) was, is the fact that there is a skewed proportion of etnicity indicative of a larger trend in the four empires or is it an oddity? That is the question I would like you (or others) to give their opinions on.

Because then the issue of self-selection of employees comes into play. Do non-Matari seek employment with major Republic Corporations (as opposed to running their own business, being employed by the corporate structures of their own homelands while living in the Republic, etc etc) at the same rate as Matari residents? If not, that’s going to skew your results.

Possibly, that is why I am asking for more sources and opinions. I have certainly sought employment with major Republic Corporations in the past and as far as I can see, many other non-ethnic capsuleers have.

Except, again, you’re the one making the claim. Show your actual evidence, not just your unsubstantiated guesses.

The claim is that the skewed distribution of 100% ethnic agents and capsuleers sponsored in the four Empires is not coincidence but racist.
