Eh ... the site strikes me as bad taste. The_Muted_Grimaud Send a noteboard - 30/05/2011 08:28:23 PM
Cultural anthropology meets social media, among many other things. Amazing.


It just seems like some kid who spends his days looking for status updates so he can feel high and mighty calling out completely random people, a good number of whom aren't really saying anything racist. Half the comments in there are just poking fun at stereotypes or complaining about some situation earlier and making an off hand comment. (Like the guy complaining about the white guy at JFK airport). People who do that are just following pop culture's lead anyway, there are comedy movies and comedy acts based around the same thing.

The only reason I say the site is in bad taste is because the creator doesn't seem to be aiming at comedy (though some of those comments are quite funny), he actually wants us to see how hypocritical people are. I like how he says repeatedly "I don't want to incite harassment", and at one point says "but you could search based on post content if it's recent enough". Or something. Talk about a hypocrite.
