Does social media elevate racism?

Social media has become an outlet for racist behavior. Recent stories such as a Cheerios commercial, a Dunkin' Donuts video, and a video of Mexican American singer, Sebastian Delacruz, are creating controversy originating on various social media platforms. Craig Fahle spoke with Karen McDevitt, lecturer at Wayne State University's Department of Communication; Hayg Oshagan, associate professor and director of media arts and studies at Wayne State's Department of Communication; and Lowell Boileau, founder of the DetroitYES Forums.
