At worst, I'd say the commercial is a little crude (calling music black or white instead of soulful/contemporary or classic), but Dutch people probably have a crude exposure to diversity.
What does that mean?

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to.

She agrees with you about it not being racist - she had issues with your "crude" comment.

It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races.

Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view.

Some people are like that, yes, but at least it isn't the "accepted" media position. Yet. *NM*

Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race.

I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted.
