I'd think twice before posting this on github (https://github.com/kleprevost/okscrape/blob/master/profile_g...): (Lines 313-314, 365-369)

#Zero out lifestyle score "eros"

		EROS = 0
#Ethnicity

		if "Black" in ethnicity_san:
			EROS = EROS - 100
		if "White" in ethnicity_san:
			EROS = EROS + 100
Apparently, race is a lifestyle choice for this idiot.

Well, to be fair, being politically conservative was worth twice as much as being black, and being fat, older than 25, being religious and liking dogs were all worth 3 times as much as being black.

So being black only makes you a little repugnant. You know, like vegans.

the whole thing is so embarrassing, I don't think your Fortune10 company would be very impressed with one of their security staff writing about gaming an online dating service by - but maybe its just me. Probably against their ToS too...
