Totally o/t:- ?100 bet

[Ace]

This is totally o/t, so before Alec and Woody delete it, PLEEEEASE can someone clarify a burning question that has a ?100 bet riding on it. A mate of mine thinks there are more white people in the world whereas I think Chinese is the majority race. (White being Euro/US/Aussie etc) Chinese being just Chinese. I agreed there are probably more white people widespread, but the bet is the majority race. If the answers get posted here, he can see for himself. Over to you lads, and apologies to the mods on this one. Thanks.

No contest...Chinese all the way

The USA/Euro/Aussie are multi race societies not just solely white.


cheers

Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language so it would make sensse that they hold the majority when it comes to world population.

ps my cut will be 5% )

You may be right about the Chinese, but I think Indian's may run them close one of the largest populations in the world.

...and growing in China, by far the biggest single race, there a few weeks ago quite an eye opener.
Mind you I think half the 1.4 billion have moved to Auckland as of late!!!

Definatley more chinese than any other race.
Just don't ask them all to stand on a chair and jump off at the same time or you won't have chance to spend your newly won ?100.

Biggie what's New Zealand like? I'm thinking of coming over.
p.s I'm not Chinese.

There,s more people living in Cleethorpes, than anywhere else in the world, I dont know how many but it,s........lots, there called Cleethopians, and they outnumber the Chinese 10/1.
I,ll agree China may be second.

[mutanthalibut]

People that live in Cleethorpes are called Meggies.

This is one of thsoe silly Trivial Pursuit type questions that depend entirely on dubious definitions - in this case the definition of a race.

Skin colour is probably the most meaningless definition of race in any case. Anthropologists could argue over this for ever, let alone non-experts. If I were you I'd ask to cancel the bet.

[mutanthalibut]

Don't heed this advice Ace the ?100 is yours :-}

There aren't many Chinese people in cleethorpes though, so my sources tell me.
