You lose if you don’t speak against it, but you set yourself up for a flame war with that person if you do. It’s kind of interesting to see that Twitter’s original intent of “What are you doing?” when it first launched in 2006/7 has transformed into a cathartic medium that allows for these racial comments to be expressed. It’s sad, really, that although social media has allowed us to express our thoughts in new ways, it has also given rise to these thoughts that (usually) go unspoken.

I’ve seen so many posts that have been geared towards racial groups, especially when there was an ethnic specific conference on campus one weekend. The interesting thing is that a lot of rude and insensitive posts are downvoted very quickly by other users of the app. So that’s something interesting to consider, right? Everyone knows it’s wrong to say those things, but I think because it is anonymous, it allows people to say it anything without personally being punished for it.

People are more likely to post things that they shouldn’t if they are anonymous and this includes things that are regarding race. The problem is that it is so easy to post anonymously online, so people are less sensitive with what they post. Even if things are done anonymously they are still seen publicly and have just as much of an impact on public perception of a race. I am not really sure of a solution to this problem, but it is one that is very interesting to think about.
