Hm.

It recently occurred to me that almost everyone i know under the age of 34 has a Facebook account. This didn’t strike me as that outrageous, but what did was that I recently started receiving friend requests from relatives who are in their 40’s and 50’s. It felt like having a party in your basement back in high school, and one of your uncles showed up and tried hanging out with you and your friends. The party that had been my life on the web had been crashed, or so it felt. What rose up in me was this feeling of nationalistic pride for the in-society that we, the internet generation, seemed to have developed, and a desire to keep it “pure,” in a sense.

I’m almost positive this is how racism started.
