Luis Garcia, coordinator for Latino and Chicano student affairs at MSU, said bias should be pushed aside in order to answer cultural questions fairly. Organizers of the site have to realize when people with other motives either for or against a group come into the picture. Five percent of questions on the site are asked out of hate and another 10 percent to 15 percent are asked with hostility, Milano said. It takes sincerity on the part of the asker and the answerer to make the Web site truly informative. Questions can be asked by anyone using the site.
People can answer questions that relate to their demographic background.
A cross section of the community is represented just by documenting conversations that are going on, and little editing of what's written on the site is needed, Milano said. But if I want to diversify myself, I feel like I can just ask people around me. Others said the site could be a useful resource in opening communication lines. Some people aren't friends with people from other groups and would spend their lives wondering.
