I found this while i was on my eden trip last year and remembered there was some info about this:

If the world was a village containing 100 people there would be:

57 Asians
21 Europians
14 for both America's
8 Africans
52 Females
48 Males
70 Non - White (not being Racist)
30 White
59% of the Wealth would belong to 6 people
all these would have lived in the US
80 would live in basic conditions
70 Couldnt Read
1/2 would suffer Malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be just born
Only 1 would have a computer
Hope this is intresting and Comments are always welcome :)
Something to think about though

It means that if the world was as it is today the 6 people who were in that village would live in the US (sorry if unclear) the bullet point was accidently put there the Wealth and the 6 people should be 1 whole 1

30 White

How can you say that, without being racist?

The bottom point is referring to the top one.

No i get what you mean, if the whole world was put into one city there would be more white than blacks, its like he is saying there are more white people then blacks in the world.

Or blacks than whites... =S

sorry to crash the party, this has been circulting the web for ages. Some of it is not quite true.

http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/populate.htm

the last bit about the one person having a computer is the best...

On the other hand, if this is the kind of material having a computer gives one access to, the inhabitants of our miniature world just might opt to do without them.

i like it though anyway. AND i did see it in an animation which was quite cool. cnt remember link, sorry.

What so im transparent now "/. colourd is probaly the supidest deffition avaible imo, everyone's coloured, and by litral deffinition of colar codeing, the so called "white" would be the coloured ones, white being the pincal of colour, while the colour "black" being the lack of colour "/

"Polical correctness" should be abandoned since it realy has no point other than to **** anyone of and provide cannon fodder for the media to **** people off "/ I mean look at the diffculty in makeing such a simple point in this case, all do to a load of pointless bs "/

God, so he said "non-white". Not a big deal.

Next time, just say African American so they don't get ****ed off.
