in fact the trend is sometimes reversed. poorer people tend to have HIGHER adoption of high end entertainment services.

this might be because these services are a substitute for other forms of activity or community. might be because of heavier marketing.

as far as this being good, it depends, but I’m skeptical. in this case we are just being better CONSUMERS than the average american. i’d prefer a stat which showed blacks’ higher propensity to hack their hardware or BUILD new services. the fact that we buy more stuff, especially non-essential, non-community-building, one-way, broadcast media services seems to me to be more of a negative.

tell me black folks hack their iphones more than average, and i’m excited.

tell me they send more money to media oligopolies, and i’m disappointed.

it’d be better if we bought some land.

But with a cell tower that broadcasts over a large distance including white and black areas, encourages those who don't have access to "normal" means of the service, to seek other means?<br/><br/>Also the high number of users in the "other" category are probably Asians. Hmmm, I wonder why they where excluded?
