race and racialization (in cyberspace)

race and racialization doesn't occour in cyberspace. there is no way to tell by speaking to someone over the internet what race they are or if they are a man woman a child disabled or anything. McPherson's article describes the lack of race and racialization in cyberspace and how because of this whitening of the internet occurs.

Heritage

Where ones liniage comes from. something that comes or belongs to one by reason of birth; an inherited lot or portion. McPherson describes in her article how the southerners are trying to protect their heritage by protecting the south and making aware the lost causes.

Identity Tourism

The ideology that the internet makes everything obsolite except our minds. Race doesnt matter because there is no race on the internet. Also we are able to have multipul selves as described in in the article by McPherson.

Race V. Ethnicity

Race and Ethnicity were two in the same to me in these chapters. When I think of race I think of racism but I don’t think in this chapter they differentiated between race and ethnicity. I think if you were anything other than American you were discriminated against.

Stratified

Stratified- In Takaki’s article he uses this term to describe the line between races and social order. Example is how the bosses were whites. Also that “Everything depended on race and even shit”
