"If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the
following.
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non Christian
30 would be Christian
95 would be heterosexual
5 would be homosexual
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for both
acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent."
