Identity tourism

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because I thought the last paragraph, "Digital Blackface," could have been expanded on. I think it'll be important to add talking points about other "forms" of blackface, such as brown face on digital platforms, as well as mocking Islamic people, and more depth into digital blackface as well.

Identity tourism in our current digital world refers to people assuming a certain identity that is not your own. The internet allows for a women in a voice chat to get voice changing technologies, therefore she won't be judged by the men on a certain game or platform. It can be a very good thing, as it allows people who, in real life, aren't their true selves and it gives them the chance to be themselves, unapologetically. Obviously, it has it cons, especially when it comes to things like digital blackface, and young white kids talking on the internet with different dialects and accents, and of course outright racism in online spaces; However, it can be something that is used for to shape their real identity, and is something that many people use to escape the bad things that may be going on in their lives.
