The part that you bolded is his explanation as to why this is the case - and I can understand why some would find the commentary inflammatory but to call it racist is pushing it. The problem is that education systems are NOT equal across America (or Canada) and some regions have a lot more money to spend. In poor districts the arts (music/art/drama) are the first things to get cut (Mr. Holland's Opus is bang on). So it's not terribly surprising that in areas around the U.S. where fat cat rich white guys don't live, schools in those areas will have limited funds.
Yes, I'm sure the iPods of the children of those fat cat rich white guys who attend all the best schools are just filled with classical music.
Mr. Serinus praises Asians for being much more sophisticated. They listen to the "right" music, compared to those "ghettoized" black kids who do not.
But here's how I look at it. Those Asians Mr. Serinus is praising are only just listening to other people's music. Whereas many of those "ghettoized" black kids have been making their own music, and in the process have created whole new genres of music.
Of course the elitists would argue "that's not music." But you know what I say to that? Well I won't tell you what I say to that as I don't care to get banned again.
