@race

@race- This term is used by Kolko on p. 216 when mentioning online communities in which one can set their age, gender, interests, but mentions there is no @race property and that it is non-existent. But whenever one attempts to define a racial context, they are met with opposition and the default race is white. She mentions that the @race component is important because it puts interactions in the virtual world in an appropraite context. Without it, the world become s a default white world in which the idologies of the designer of the interface are the interactive rules.
