. . . [implying that] rap somehow is where A-As belong is racial bias.
Whoa! Did somebody do this? Show us where! I want to get to the bottom of this!Should Japanese stick to their native music?
No. Are you promoting that idea or something?Your post might be less inflammatory if posted in a vacuum, but injustice isn't some academic exercise.
I can practically feel your SJW juices flowing!Please answer this: do you think black folks somehow are innately unable to appreciate, perform, compose classical music?
No. Where did you get that idea?Is it [classical music] a Chinese, Japanese thing, but not one for those of African heritage?
Nope.Perhaps you feel the culture excludes it?
And perhaps I don't. Again, where did you get that idea?One mostly comes to love classical music from a family, a teacher, or a friend. What if a young person has none of those, through no fault of her own--- but otherwise, once given the opportunity, loves the music?
I would say, well done - yes, such people have overcome some formidable barriers, and, in a certain sense, have even shown great heroism - and I've never argued otherwise.This isn't really about classical music, ballet, painting, or any other "high art." It's about access and opportunity to education and resources.
While I do not disagree at all with your point about the lack of access and opportunity to various societal advantages within the African American community, I still think it's possible (pretty certain in fact!) that, culturally, there are certain artistic preferences among various ethnic and racial groups - worldwide. Do you want to argue otherwise?You seem unaware of the past history of prejudice against women and Asians practiced by many (all) orchestras...
I can see you're running out of steam here, but I'll put up my awareness of past history and prejudice towards whomever (including women and Asians) up against yours any day of the week. What else you got?
