Internet the 'cure' to racism?
Is it?
Based on how you communicate with people without knowing almost anything about them, over the internet, the one thing that racists generally rely on to 'validate' their opinions of other races is null and void. Skin color is not applicable to the internet.
If we were to take 500 racist people, and a mix of other races they hate(double blind, however, it would be needed to tell the other races not to expose their race), and made them interact with one another, let them form relationships and become friends, then reveal the differences in race by having them meet in a controlled environment in real life. Would the fact that they were exposed to the fact that everyone is pretty much the same remove the hate planted by ones environment in childhood?
Would having this study be considered unethical and damaging?
I have to come up with some sort of study for statistics(and actually do it), so I'd like some opinions to perfect this.
