Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? Floffe Send a noteboard - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM
The mere fact there's a version of the commercial with both a black and white radio host gives the lie to the idea of "black" music

This one, I don't quite follow.

Is it racist?: Commercial for Jazz/Soul radio - 22/03/2010 01:47:45 PM 2683 Views
I'd say that's pretty racist. - 22/03/2010 01:53:59 PM 682 Views
I don't think it's racist at all - 22/03/2010 07:15:55 PM 713 Views

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 631 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 643 Views
I was thinking the same thing as Rebekah - 23/03/2010 07:15:51 AM 687 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 674 Views
It would not float here in the US - 22/03/2010 10:07:08 PM 683 Views
Agreed. - 23/03/2010 05:36:14 AM 836 Views

It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 AM 915 Views

Nice term, if a bit clumsy - 23/03/2010 11:10:34 AM 644 Views
The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think. - 23/03/2010 11:29:06 AM 677 Views
I suspect so as well - 23/03/2010 12:32:00 PM 770 Views
Well, the thing is, "American" is PURELY a culture, not a race. - 23/03/2010 01:55:59 PM 855 Views
That's part of what I was thinking - 23/03/2010 07:50:19 AM 1002 Views
Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view. - 23/03/2010 09:24:23 AM 669 Views
Agreed - 23/03/2010 10:21:59 AM 697 Views
Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race. - 23/03/2010 11:51:06 AM 909 Views
I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted. - 23/03/2010 02:33:34 PM 637 Views
perhaps not as default... - 23/03/2010 03:08:19 PM 704 Views
The term encompasses listeners, performers and presenters. - 23/03/2010 04:42:55 PM 721 Views
So it's really not about skin color any more, right? - 23/03/2010 09:12:20 PM 759 Views
it's racist and unacceptable. - 23/03/2010 09:07:10 PM 799 Views
