The make-up of the internet is a fairly problematic issue. After all, we're all anonymous, to a certain extent, so clearly race isn't an issue anymore, right? Unfortunately, that's probably about as far from the truth as is possible. In a world where a rascist organization holds the name of one of the greatest civil rights leader with little to no indication as to who's hosting the material, we have issues.

As for myself, I find it difficult to really see past them, even beyond race. To me, the amorphous structure of the anonymous masses sitting across the keyboard from me does have a shape. I, personally, see them as largely white and largely male. This is due to the fact that in my years of use of the internet, that just happens to be the make up of people I've actually "met". I have preconceived notions of everyone on the internet, regardless of how true they are. As much as groups such as 4chan's anonymous wish to believe, they are not a faceless organization.

Unfortunately, this is also a rather difficult problem to solve. Blackmon discusses how the major problem is lack of access and education in the digital arts that prevents minorities from really "grabbing" the internet. This is fairly difficult to deal with though. I'm not saying it shouldn't, but to truly get a change that's more than just superficial, we'd need a societal change as well. I do believe that's happening, but society does not change or adapt quickly. Minorities still have a long way to go.
