I think that while the methodology is somewhat curious, the data is sound. Having 350 million users is expensive, which is why I don't blame Facebook for wanting to figure out how to make some big advertising dollars. I just wish they didn't do it at the expense of their users' privacy. Thanks for your comment Jordan. I think that while the methodology is somewhat curious, the data is sound.

This data paired with their recent move to a more "open" idea of privacy solidifies their move to increase marketability. While there is some good data in here, I'm wondering how legitimate this name comparison with the Census really is in determining ethnic background. I think you hit the nail on the head, Rob.
