Racism in Suicide girls

A site which features soft-core photos and profiles of young women of gothic and punk style who are known as Suicide girls.

The article from the suicide girls mentions the issue of racism which is present within the site; it seemed interesting enough to see how women of different racial groups were commented differently from those of Caucasian groups which were commented just as strong and feisty.

Women of Asian identity are described as exotic and doll like figure while women of African identity are described as the ones with soulful eyes and full lips.

Lisa Nakamura argues in her article 'erasing @race she says that the default ethnicity is set to white on most MUDs. This can be applied to the fact that women’s other than those of Caucasian racial groups seems to be alienated and perceived differently by the users within the suicide girl’s community, and the fact that racist comments made by the members are largely ignored.

This site shows dominance of the whiteness and how in a world of 21^st century there are still racism occurring and how it has transferred from physical world to online world seems

surprising, and the acceptance of the equality of race still have a long path to travel in both offline and online world.
