I would venture to guess that ghetto rap music is highly under represented by Caucasian “stars”.

Same for southern blues/soul music.

But I am probably just racist and insensitive.

And jazz, which is a much more civilized music genre than hip-hop or rap, is domonated by black artists.

So what?

Well, at least a lot of women got to play and sing classical music! Celebrate that!

And don’t forget, in modern times, ladies like Enya, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon, Carole King — many of the female persuasion — have been able to achieve fame and fortune making stuff up.

I search for a word meaning “irrational fear of the rational”. This guy’s got it.

We had been long term subscribers to our local community orchestra.

As one season wound down, the next season’s performance list was announced.

The conductor said, with a bit of a chuckle, “We will try some new music next season. No more dead, white European males!”

This was about 12 years ago.

That was our last season.

I'm an old, slow white guy who can't jump or play defense. I hit 85% of my free throws and 60% of my 3 pointers. I don't try layups because they always get blocked.

The NBA should hire me to improve their diversity. Talent is so over-rated!

Classical music is practiced around the world. There are numerous examples of Asians, women, blacks, homosexuals, etc. being involved in it at various levels. The real issue is that one is either with the medium or not. It is highly demanding to the extent that if one’s compositional, performance or technical efforts are not up to the task, then that’s just too damned bad for that person who is then welcome to try their hand at something else.

If that is not sufficient for its detractors then they can go to hell.

Bach will endure forever. There’s no getting rid of him. He is jamming in heaven right now, with instruments we can’t imagine.

Just wait until the boycottts begin of White symphony orchestra recordings from Europe.

Then nuclear fission begins with the boycotts and even defunding of University classical FM stations and their fund raising drives.

Guys like Jay Z and Snoop Dog could have chosen to study Mozart.

They did not.
