THE EARTH AS A VILLAGE OF 100 INHABITANTS

I found this statistical article in swedish translation in the swedish newspaper ”Sekotidningen” published in Nr 4 week 17, 1999. The article was copied from the page The Web of Culture, www.webofculture.com . I searched there later but I could not any longer find the original. Now I translated it with my bad english.
”...If we all on earth lived in a little village with 100 inhabitants, should exist: 21 europeans, 57 asiats, 14 americans, 8 africans, 52 women, 48 men, 70 persons with different bodycolor than white, 70 persons with other religion than christian, 89 heterosexuals, 11 homosexuals, 70 analfphabets. ThE half of the inhabitants should be underfed and 59% of all resources should belong to 6 persons and all 6 should be citizens of USA. 1 person should have universityeducation and 1 person should own a computer.”

This statistic is a few years old, but the circumstances are still almost the same.
