The document summarizes Ashley Parkin's thesis presentation on creating a fake fashion line called NOCO that satirizes people's desire to assume another ethnicity's identity while discriminating against them. The line transforms negative aspects of being black into something fashionable. The goal is to stir up online conversations on race through a website hosting the stereotypical clothing line. It remains to be seen if online viewers will understand the satire and respond immediately to the project's message critiquing racism. The presentation includes information on the thesis, precedents, prototype website, and blog documenting the line's creation.
