Thanks for the comment David. Much appreciated. There was a simple reason the “Red” answer didn’t change. I’m sure you can figure it out. 😉

I love your sense of satire. Race relations as a whole, and in relation to interpretations within media aren’t seen by everyone. I believe satire is a tool that can pull people out of the cocoon that media can provide and begin a viewer/reader/consumer on the road to questioning what they are consuming.

The polls you offer fit well into the sense of satire. They are concrete answers that we, the poll-takers, cannont change according to our individual subjectivities. Even though the ubiquitous “Other” option was offered in both polls the “I am red and was somewhat offended” was a constant in across the two as well.

Concrete molds are what media attempts to portray for stereotypes, this poll feels like a jab at that idea. “Oh you dont fit into the original mold- here, here is just as concrete of a mold, just slightly different. Somethings are changed, some aren’t”
