A visual conclusion from the straw poll above
I couldn't help but notice that on the straw poll above, users from a specific ethnic group seem to be voting en masse. I think that the following record could prove in an interesting and colorful way how the outcome of a proposal on Wikipedia can be ethnic-induced, instead of community-wide, as it should always be:

I will be updating this list, as conclusions can be much better drawn when the obvious is painted in just two colors. Húsönd 19:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
