Digital Ethnorati Panel at SXSW
The Digital Ethnorati
Monday, March 12th
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Room 9AB, Austin Convention Center
Polls have shown that the fastest growing segments of new media adopters (mobile, internet, computers) in the United States are Asian, Latino and African Americans. Liza Sabater has identified these wired minorities as the "Digital Ethnorati" and in this panel we will explore how members of the new majority are changing the rules of political engagement with the net.

I'm the Boss

On the eve of the election, I would like to remind the Democrats that you work for me. And for her. And for him. You work for the homeless and the gays and the farmers and the uninsured and the minorities and the innocent until proven guilty by something other than the Patriot Act.
I am voting Democrat straight down the line and none of you better let me down. I am going to watch you like a hawk and if you do not fufill your end of the deal, I am going to do all I can in my power to make sure you are severely reprimanded. After all, this is the only instance that I know of in which the employee makes more than the employer, so I feel that I should speak up when you do something I do not like, which happens quite frequently. For example, something like not standing up for health care for every American. You remember... the kind of issue you go on and on about right before the election, only to forget about after you are in office enjoying really decadent lunches that I think you might be charging to me. Why, with all that fatty food you enjoy, it is a good thing that you have such great health coverage!
So, I just thought I should clear all of this up in case you gain control of Congress, the governor's mansion, and the courts. And even if you do not become the majority, please do not be so submissive in your minority status, as you were during this latest outbreak of war. Perhaps if we bomb Iran, you can be a bit more vocal in your protests as you are chauffeured around town.
