At work, we've toyed a bit with a tool called Wordle. I wondered what some of the highlights of Race Fail 2009 would look like in a different form... if the Wordle transformation seemed to do anything to the words.
At first glance, nothing stands out, but it was interesting to try.
I dunno, I think it's a pretty telling reminder that these conversations are about people: not abstractions, not ideas, not politics, but real live thinking feeling people.
/me bites her fist over the fact that "white people" are the two largest words in both #1 and #6. Were those especially racism-101-fail-ish comment threads?
