I think it's great that someone can confess their own racism. To me it's a whole lot better than "I'm not racist...my girlfriend/boyfriend is Asian/black!" And in terms of the questions, I think that story also asks a lot. How will these people end up if they have a difference in what they feel about race and what they feel about the individual? I do see how it might get tiresome after a year and a half though... I’m going to have to disagree with you somewhat, Ike. I think it’s great that someone can confess their own racism.

What it amounts to is a website centered around privileged whining. Not surprisingly, there are also a lot of racist postcards that are sent in. http://www.racialicious.com/2008/01/09/black-people-dont-care-about-darfur-note-from-postsecret/ http://www.racialicious.com/2007/07/20/confession-of-racism-on-postsecret/ http://www.racialicious.com/2007/04/23/asians-scare-me/ Eh, after a year and a half of reading PostSecret, I’m not impressed.
