Reply to comment by FoosFights in Has teen acne been around since prehistoric times? Did cave-dwellers have zits? Or is it related to modern eating, exercise, pollution, etc.? by Snoo-35252
>Like if you compared the average teen in USA vs the average teen in India, would one have more or less than the other??
It depends on the ethnic group. According to this study, acne is the least common amongst those from the Indian subcontinent and most common amongst those of Black ancestry. So in India, it would not be as prevalent as amongst certain ethnic groups in the US.

>There's have been studies showing certain ethnicities/races seem to be more acne prone due to their physiology causing some to produce more sebum than others.
I tried to look up what you're referring to, and this study says:
>Acne is the most common dermatological diagnosis in non-Caucasian patients. In a community-based photographic study, clinical acne was found to be highly revalent in Black/African American (37%), Hispanic/Latina (32%), and Asian (30%) women, more so than in Continental Indian (23%) and White/Caucasian (24%) women.
"Continental Indian" refers to the Indian subcontinent, and Arab/Middle Eastern was included as part of the White/Caucasian category.

>As a non-American, reading On The Road, felt like a snapshot of postwar youthful Boomer mentality.
>I'm not saying all boomers are like this or retain that mentality, but as a non-American, to me, the difference in generational perspectives was very identifiable and familiar.
I'm not trying to be rude, but if you're going to write a post disparaging a whole generation, at least check the dates first. The guys in the book and Jack Kerouac himself fall under the "Greatest Generation", which fought in WWII, and were the PARENTS of Boomers. People on Reddit have a habit of calling everyone older than them a "Boomer." I'm Gen X myself and constantly see posts lashing out at certain "Boomer" politicians who are actually Gen X. We have the internet, we can check our facts before posting.

LMAO, here we were thinking you were a non native English speaker and generously "interpreting" you, when in reality, you were just a drunk Brit.

If you Google "fossil hunting New Jersey", you will see Big Brook Preserve, articles, and lists of fossil sites. Seems like New Jersey has an abundance of dinosaur fossils and shark teeth.

NJ is full of fossils, great grounds for hunting them!

They're using the "maaaaaaaaaaybe...stay tuned!" tactic
>The Cumberland Police Department responded to the young girl with "some already uncovered evidence in support of Santa Claus' presence in her neighborhood" on Christmas Eve, a photo of what appeared to be a deer with antlers. The Cumberland Police Department said it is awaiting test results, and asked residents to stay tuned for more information.
