To whoever transcribed the latest Web conference:

1. A deprivation index is for studying poverty. A depravation index is for studying corruption.

2. You got "homogeneous" right the first time. If it becomes "homo Gene genius" in your mind, get some rest.

3. "Non-hispanic wheats"? While you're taking a break, how about getting a bite to eat.

"I'm depraved because I'm deprived!" is one of my favorite lines from West Side Story.

The exact words: "Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived."

I can't hear any conjugation of "deprave" without thinking of WSS.

Well poverty is due to corruption in a way. Maybe the transcriber was making a bad political joke or made a slip of what he was thinking.
