I read the comments below and didn't get that at all. I think people were mainly noting how cute and put together all these girls look. #newyorkcitymarathon

Also, mile 23 is evil. For all the talk about what a brutal course Boston is, NY seemed harder to me from a tactical aspect. Stealth hills are tougher than obvious ones. #nycmarathon

But yeah. The silence on the bridge only emphasized the sound of thousands of pounding feet. #nycmarathon

I would really hate for this to be turned against Norton. He's been working the hell out of Twitter, his friends in the media, and the team's sponsors and has raised about a quarter of a million dollars for the Maasai. For all that effort, he most certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt. #edwardnortonnewyorkcitymaratho...

First, the author makes the taxi driver a funny caricature (I don't really mind Norton's reaction because I feel like he's usually put upon when it comes to these things). Then, he/she points out all the questions the Maasai people ask, and all the differences they notice, in a disturbingly infantile ("giggles") and reductionist type of way (oh, look, they're comparing Nairobi to Manhattan!). The second part might be me being somewhat sensitive, but I feel like that comment was just brushed off as silly instead of taken seriously as an interesting and different perspective.
And that's the other uncomfortable part: Hey, can we get some research up in here? Who are the Maasai? I could do the research myself (I am, and it's awesome), but if Norton is going to become the spokesperson for the "Maasai warrior culture," could enlighten us on what exactly that is. In fact, the author mentions that he DOES start to speak about it some more, but then s/he decides that it's not interesting enough to write any more about. #edwardnortonnewyorkcitymaratho...

ETA: I love that he cares about the biodiversity in East Africa, but damn condescending much, Edward.

But warrior culture??? Something about this seems off to me, as though he doesn't quite get it. He's so close, but no cigar. I can't put my finger on what it is. #edwardnortonnewyorkcitymaratho...
