Facebook 'sparked white flight from MySpace'

A "WHITE flight" to Facebook has turned MySpace into a black ghetto, according to a social analyst in the US.

Danah Boyd said Facebook's arrival sparked a migration from MySpace of white users, the educated and the wealthy, while non-whites had stuck together on MySpace.

fuck, some peoples jobs are so easy, must of taken years for Danah to come to this conclusion

From the article:
quote:
"The people there are more likely to be brown or black and to have a set of values that terrifies white society," she said.

This bit struck me as pretty odd. What does this sociologist think that the values of "black and brown" people are? And why would those values "terrify white society?" Does she think all non-whites are gangsters or something?

So basically if you're not black/brown, myspace is for emo's and satanists.

Hmm, sounds good.
