It is hard to trust statistics about the Internet. Regardless of the research, everyone agrees that if you are African-American or Hispanic you are far less likely to have access than whites. There is a similar divide for income.
Rich people build the Internet for the slightly less rich people who use it.
Maybe it is radically different in Seattle, New York or Los Angeles, but if you work for the Internet industry in San Francisco you might think Rosa Parks never got on the bus. If few African-Americans are involved in developing the Web's cultural landscape at this early stage, there will always be some level of alienation and divide. They will become second-class citizens of the Internet, always sensing the subtle but real feeling that the Internet was built by somebody who does not understand them or know them, but expects them to get on it and spend their time and money. The studios still do not have a clue, because their executives don't know any black people. And I am sorry to say that being chummy with Magic Johnson don't count.
