      So many threads about inequity emerged from #mypokehood; I wanna pick some of them up this morning.

      For starters, I want to acknowledge that a lot of people despise #PokémonGO because it's removed from reality.

      I'd argue that #PokémonGO is 1) very much reflective of reality while at the same time 2) the augmented reality that vulnerable kids need.

      For kids of color that grow up in poor neighborhoods, #PokémonGO is a wonderful break. Yet #mypokehood illustrates inequity.

      We know that the maps that #PokémonGO used are based on previous locations from a game called Ingress:http://www.bnd.com/news/nation-world/national/article89562297.html …

      I don't think they were using a hashtag, but @KendraJames_ was maybe the first person to point out the pokestop inequities. Ty for that.

      So, we learned Ingress locations were set by white tech-savvy players. But why is that? Why does tech-savvy often mean not black or latinx?

      Simple. Taxpayers fund schools. Some schools get great funding and STEM from an early age.... Others get broken schools and libraries.

      You can make pretty good guesses about what an elementary school's workforce is going to look like. And that matters for #mypokehood

      We can blame the inequity of #mypokehood on the Ingress map alone—but it's a lot more systemic than that. This starts at pre-k tbh.

      Several people have pointed out that developers didn't know that #PokémonGO would be so big, and that it excuses the limited pokestops.

          I STRONGLY disagree w that. It's 2016. Developers should *always* watch out for potential inequities, no matter how small or big market is.

          Of course no one sat down and thought to create inequitable pokestops. The problem is they didn't stop to think about it at all! #mypokehood

          We must *always* assume there's bias—and we've got to be conscious about checking it or risk creating problems like #mypokehood.

          Something else I learned about #mypokehood is that a lot of suburbs don't have pokestops at all; they're concentrated in downtowns.

          But many of the commercial areas/downtowns that should have pokestops don't have any at all. Those are the poc ones like where I live.

          I do live close to two churches, and there are pokestops there. But I live DIRECTLY next to a school; no pokestop there. #mypokehood

          Pokestops are also located in parks. Sadly, too many communities of color lack green space/parks, which means less pokestops. #mypokehood

          I *must* go to a pokestop to collect those items in order to keep enjoying the game. Either that, or I have to buy the items. #mypokehood

          That means inequity built into #PokémonGO makes it so that already vulnerable people have to pay to play what the privileged get for free.

          People of color can also go to more white commercial/downtown areas to enjoy more pokestops. But we're not always safe there. #mypokehood

          I agree with Akil, but also wonder what #mypokehood means for black women. Women in general have a different relationship with public space

          I'm going to guess that most of the Ingress stops were created by men. What would #mypokehood look like if it were mostly created by women?
