   It happens everywhere. They are just trying to promote their own race!

i do alot of the surveys and i agree it is getting to be more about race but what can we do it is not right but i also hate the surveys that don't ask any questions and disqualify you before you answer any thing

Yep, there is a whole lot of demographic stuff tied to surveys.  However, if we don't get the survey, we don't really know the subject matter.  Maybe it was a product they don't think we as white people would use or buy.  The demographic stuff can be hard to digest - it is rough to see DQ, DQ, DQ, over and over.

I do attempt surveys here, but this is one of the reasons I really prefer tasks, videos, Paid to Click, and Paid to Call offers.  We take the offer, take the credit, and done.

Well, on another note, I just wanted to tell you, also that your post just hit me as a little bit of morning humor as I was actually sitting here with my coffee and, yep, a Kroger bakery CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.

The other thing to consider is perhaps the portion of the surveys allotted to the "white" demographic filled quite quickly and now the surveys are trying to fill out the remaining demographic populations for a varied sampling.  Since "whites" are a large population, it makes sense if there is limited space those slots will fill faster than a smaller population.

If the surveys are setup by race  within zip codes, it could be that other areas of the country have other race demographics fill before whites - like the various sections of NYC, or areas in larger cities that tend to have statistical larger race groups living in the same area.

Perhaps this is the more logical reason for being disqualified vs the surveys being "racist".  It's probably that you didn't get to the survey fast enough.  Most of these surveys tend to be around for a while, and when they don't fill on the router they initiate in, they get funneled through all other survey routers to fill the remaining statistics holes/gaps - so perhaps by the time this showed up in your queue, the survey may only be looking for a couple demographics to complete the survey.

Surveys are based on data and there is nothing racist about them. Advertisers go where the money is, where the market is. Mostly they are interested in middle class between ages 18-34 and if you do not fall in this category, they really are not interested in hearing from you. It's numbers, purely numbers.

Whites are becoming more and more irrelevant, and an actual minority in a lot of places. Businesses are trying to cater more and more to the growing non-white population, so that's probably why they look for non-whites to do the surveys. Unfortunately, this country will probably never become "color-blind."

It was a JOKE people.. i know the survey's themselves are not racist.. my god.. take the little humor in life and run with it... I just said that because everytime i click white i get dqed..... No harm no Fowl.. I thought it was funny.  (:

Don't worry I say I'm female or Hispanic and they bump me off too, sometimes I just put my age and I get bump off. It's so irritating.

It happens every where these surveys bump you off for your age, color of skin, female or male. They just want to disqualify you because they don't want to pay you.

I get instantly disqualified for some surveys because I select female or put in my age but I'm not going to claim the survey companies are sexist or ageist

I know my demographics are going to disqualify me from many surveys but somehow I tend to make more money from surveys than many people that complain on here about lack of offers
