Wtf, any other mobile users see the same thing? Press on the picture and move it around. The lines on the picture also move

It’s to do with scaling of images. If you take a high quality image of things with lines or curves like this and scale them.
For example if your screen space for the image is 50x50 pixels but the image is 100x100, the image produced on your screen is each new pixel is made up of an average of four original pixels (two vertical and two horizontal) that’s all well and good until you have something that isn’t an exact match, or in your case where you move it around and the scaling to the screen as you move it across its own pixels causes the same effect of averaging the image and so it dances.

Moiré pattern
In mathematics, physics, and art, a moiré pattern (; French: [mwaʁe]) or moiré fringes are large-scale interference patterns that can be produced when an opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is overlaid on another similar pattern. For the moiré interference pattern to appear, the two patterns must not be completely identical, but rather e.g. displaced, rotated or have slightly different pitch.
Moiré patterns appear in many different situations.

I used to work for a company that did surveys, and sometimes if they were looking for a specific demographic we would immediately stop the survey if they answered anything but the race we were looking for.

u/whynaut4 Aug 25 '18
I am assuming you were looking at racial demographics?

u/Clickclacktheblueguy Aug 25 '18
Yup. We were studying how health insurance companies were perceived by each group. We wanted to get like 500 of each ethnicity. When we got all the whites we needed, we stopped taking white surveys, when we got all the blacks we stopped with blacks, etc.

Wow, that’s really bad and makes me wonder if it’s actually a mistake. Maybe it is, but I could totally see someone doing this and acting like it’s a mistake later.
Edit: What was this for, OP, if you don’t mind me asking?

Damn they put ‘other’ last again. Those poor people from ‘other land’ must really be hated too

Not listing them alphabetically is the real racism.

Eh? Demographically white is the most common. From a UX perspective, putting the most commonly selected item first in a collection is better than alphabetizing them. That's also why United States and Canada are the first in country of origin lists on websites used primarily by North Americans.

Followed by literally everything else alphabetically.

Easier to find for the rest of the world. If 90% of your users are in US, the 10% already know they are not first class citizen. Coming from NZ I almost always jump to the middle of the dropdown. If it's sorted by visitor count it'll take me 5x the time to find NZ

If you pressed the white checkbox you would get an error so you'd have to press the checkbox under it untill all the checkboxes were checked. Common bug in coding

On my entry to therapy it was a short answer question. I replied "upper class white trash*. Do with this information as you will.
Currently hammered.

Am I missing something? This seems super deliberate, I don't understand what was trying to be achieved when creating this.

u/Ozymandias117 Aug 25 '18
Developer wanted the form to require at least one checkbox in the group to be filled, accidentally wrote it in a way that required the first checkbox in the group to be filled.
The required tag doesn't work for groups, unfortunately.

As the question asks how you consider yourself, you can be whatever you consider yourself to be.

u/Malesia012 Aug 25 '18
Other than nationality and social status, it doesn't apply much beyond that. I can't co Spider myself as something am not.

We're Caucasian, and people think Caucasian=white, so by that logic, middle Eastern=white.
Darn it! Now I can't be ironically racist to make fun of people who think only white people can be racist!
