37/ Tangentially related whites are also more likely to donate blood and organs:
Overall whites seem more interested in adventure and nature which makes sense given tweet below. As expected whites and Asians are overrepresented in intellectual pursuits. Blacks are overrepresented as protestors and TV viewers, and social media users.
