My Life is Crap

Minority Report

This video is a great demonstration of how awesome population genetics is!  Enjoy!
By the way, the 2013 census has 17.1% of the US population being Hispanic - a group everyone recognizes as being a minority.  According to this source, my blue eyes puts me in a category representing  only 16% of the population.  That's a difference of more than 3 million people.  But, unfortunately, I can't go applying for any minority scholarships making that claim.  My application would be laughed right into the trash.  Culturally, being a minority is strictly a race distinction, but, from a genetic perspective, my genotype is actually more rare.  Interesting to think about.
