Just something I wanted to show my observation of.

Not including any of the Mane Six or Alicorn Princesses. The settlements are of those seen and confirmed in the show. The elites chosen from those appearing with proper influence and actual lines proving their position, background ponies not counted. You might feel some are missing, this is just a quick skimming of the surface. Waifus not counted. 

I just like to make lists and compare them.
Simply noticed a lot of stars and elites turn out to be earth ponies, contrary to the belief that they as a species are looked down upon by the others. Yet here we see those considered superior got the highest numbers in earth ponies.

Just an observation.

I think your on the right track but i think its more about population. Weve seen Pony areas have plenty of pegasi and unicorns mixed in, from theorys ive seen, it seems unicorns and pegasi are recessive, making earth ponies far more common, thus giving them more regions and more stars under them

Yes. We do see places like Ponyville which originated as a settlement of earth ponies becoming greatly mixed, but we also only see very few places originally settled by non-earth ponies.

My idea here is to show my thoughts on the theory many has that the “dirt ponies” are greatly looked down upon despite their numbers as the “commoners” because they are not special in the sense of how unicorns got magic and pegasi can fly.

To me this proves that to be wrong. Yes it can easily be because their numbers overgrow the other pony kinds, but if earth ponies truly were that looked down upon we wouldn’t see so many raise to be such big, influential stars and alike.

Heck, the only real racism observed (besides the Zecora incident) was an earth pony (Svengallop from The Mane Attraction) talking down about another earth pony the way fanfic love to depict unicorns or pegasi talk about earth ponies.
