    I do wonder what the makeup of 100 people would have to look like to be perfectly (or as perfect as possible) representative of all demographics, every way we chop them up. Race, nationality, gender identity, sexuality, permanent disfigurement, financial class, whatever.

      There’s more than 100 possible combinations of race, nationality, gender identity, sexuality disability, etc, so you couldn’t accurately represent the whole human population with 100 people.

        Not really trying to get every combination…but that would be an interesting challenge at a larger scale.

        More so…a group of 100 people that is representative of the exact proportion of each individual demographic.
