Every year I poll the literature class I teach to gather evidence for a theory I have on race, class, neurodiversity, and literary taste. Here are this year's results.

The survey is voluntary and the results are of course anonymous, before anyone tries to get me fired. All of terminology except for class is chosen by the student, hence we see some non-standard racial and ethnic classifications.

meant to say Anglo. Seems very stereotypical to me that the Chinese kid would choose one of the greatest authors of all time as his favorite, especially one that is widely read in primary schools. At least with someone like Dostoevsky it's an author that he likely did not read in primary school and had to go out of his way to read.

It's entirely within the realm of possibility that he teaches 5 or 6 instances of an English Lit class with 70-100 people each. Hell, could be more students, I've seen 140+ lectures.
