I'd prefer a music video. Then I know I can safely ignore it.

Why bother trawling through the raw data when it's been done so many times before? For instance:
Passengers’ chances of surviving the sinking of the S.S. Titanic were related to their sex and their social class: females were more likely to survive than males, and the chances of survival declined with social class as measured by the class in which the passenger travelled.
So we see classism and sexism. The only surprise is that most of the officers also went down with the ship. No U-boat to South America or a cushy job with NASA for them.
