Internet for minorities

Hello reader, a new introduction: 

in case you wonder, I’m Mexican and NO, I don’t have a giant sombrero and I do not travel on a donkey. I was born and raised in one if the biggest cities in the world. I play tennis which is a “European” sport and speak 3 languages, pretty well for someone from Tequila-land. I hate taco bell. I don't spend the whole day slepping 

This was Mexico……(I can't stand people calling USA America ¬¬, America is the whole continent, named after Americo Vespusio, who was an Itallian explorer back in the XVI century and draw the first maps of the American continent) 

I feel like starting this time because that is what the reading is mainly about, stereotypes in the internet. and for what I looked for, this is the mexican stereotype. 

This reading is focused in that, of how African-American college students deal with the internet, how they relate with it and what they think about it.

The point I really liked about this article by Samantha Blackmon, is that she focuses in how it is necessary to embrace a new cultural identity while writing in the internet and browsing through it, especially because I’ve been in a similar situation while using the internet and the resources it offers, but even though it was created by a majority ethnic group for the largest ethnic group everybody can use it, I think it is not the race it is the contact you have with it and having a more frequent access to internet doesn’t depend on your skin color, I think it will depend in many other things, for example place of living, annual income, major among many other.

Other thing I liked about the text is the begging in which is mentioned that minorities are forced to embrace a new culture while using internet and this may be possible, it also happens when you are learning another language (pending citation). 

Also the word "Eurocentric" is used and this is a pretty strong word, culturally speaking, because it refers that something is all about European culture, and according to text, one of the African-American students feels Internet is like this. 

I think this article is just the tip of the iceberg for an intense debate about how different ethnics relate with digital media and why.
