尽管 Twitter 可能无法代表总体人口，但从 Twitter 收集的信息可以帮助我们了解人们对某些社会问题（尤其是种族问题）的看法。考虑到这一点，本研究使用 Twitter 作为数据收集的主要来源，追踪密苏里州弗格森迈克·布朗被杀后 4 天内的#Ferguson 标签，以研究事件发生后如何讨论种族问题。指导本文的一个关键问题是捕获的推文如何与对美国种族的更广泛理解产生共鸣？
Although Twitter may not be representative of the overall population, information gathered from Twitter can assist our understanding of what people think about certain social issues, particularly race. With this in mind, using Twitter as the main source for data collection, this study tracks the #Ferguson hashtag in the 4 days following the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, to examine how race was discussed in the aftermath of the event. A key question guiding this article is how do the tweets captured resonate with broader understandings about race in America?
