The Effect of Perceived Marginalization on Offensive Speech and Censorship

Thank you for participating in our questionnaire. Your feedback is important.

Please be advised that this questionnaire contains offensive language.

This questionnaire examines the effect of a Twitter user's perceived ethnicity and gender on audience reactions to their offensive comments. It will explore how these perceptions can categorize the user as part of a marginalized group, and if that affects whether or not their comment is considered hate speech, and/or if it should be censored.

Names, photos, and racial slurs in Tweets will be blocked out in order to isolate the subject matter and any preconceptions.
