57. The CyberNOT list contains approximately 7000 sites in twelve categories. The software is designed to enable parents to selectively block access to any or all of the twelve CyberNOT categories simply by checking boxes in the Cyber Patrol Headquarters (the Cyber Patrol program manager). These categories are:
Racism/Ethnic Impropriety: Prejudice or discrimination against any race or ethnic culture. Ethnic or racist jokes and slurs. Any text that elevates one race over another.
In other words, if I say that there's something wrong with a culture that doesn't encourage education (e.g., the "acting white" name-calling in American lower-class black subcultures), the entire Cypherpunks list archives would be banned by their standards by any parents who didn't want their children seeing KKK literature? TCMay has also said things of that nature (and I agree). This definition is way overly PC. -Allen
