It's as if people have the twisted belief that certain racial groups should not be on the internet. Many people in fact assume until shown otherwise that there isn't a black person in a online community they are part of. They find it okay to make racist jokes because they "aren't there" and if a black person shows up and takes offense "it's the internet" they say. What people need to realise is that on the internet race, gender etc. should be irrelevant. The Business Insider is slowly turning into a joke with it's silly articles, their name is becoming increasingly misleading compared to their articles. It's starting to pick up stories that you'd only expect to see in a gossip magazine or something, not a good look.
