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.
you don’t need to though. Sure you could represent every european ethnicity, but that seems pretty stupid doesn’t it? The optimal solution is to just select people from the global population at complete random. Whatever you get is going to be pretty close. Not perfect, but close enough.
I am amused by the verbiage of “every way we chop them up” followed by “permanent disfigurement.” Which is exactly what they would have if they were chopped up. 😏
it’s pretty simple, you just RNG select people from the population, whatever you’re left with is statistically, about as close as you can get to a representative demographic.

Needs some awareness ribbons too.

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.
Not if they are all nonbinary pansexual…have to think outside the boxes.
