It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. Joel Send a noteboard - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 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.

Which I think is true of music in general; again, there may be cultural predispositions, but music doesn't come with a genotype. If it were strictly "black" music there are a lot of European countries where a jazz station wouldn't be economically viable.

Is it racist?: Commercial for Jazz/Soul radio Artsapat - 22/03/2010 01:47:45 PM 2753 Views
I'd say that's pretty racist. LadyLorraine - 22/03/2010 01:53:59 PM 734 Views
I don't think it's racist at all MalkierKnight - 22/03/2010 07:15:55 PM 776 Views

I'm not Dutch, but that was a pretty ignornant claim Larry - 29/03/2010 07:20:09 PM 745 Views

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here Larry - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 676 Views

An illustration of Larry's point... Legolas - 29/03/2010 08:14:55 PM 702 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. Rebekah - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 689 Views
She agrees with you about it not being racist - she had issues with your "crude" comment. Legolas - 29/03/2010 08:59:44 PM 688 Views
I was thinking the same thing as Rebekah Artsapat - 23/03/2010 07:15:51 AM 735 Views
I don't see it ironclad - 22/03/2010 08:19:31 PM 727 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words LadyLorraine - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 715 Views
It would not float here in the US Larry - 22/03/2010 10:07:08 PM 728 Views
Agreed. Joel - 23/03/2010 05:36:14 AM 881 Views
Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? Floffe - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM 727 Views

Nice term, if a bit clumsy Floffe - 23/03/2010 11:10:34 AM 685 Views
The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think. Joel - 23/03/2010 11:29:06 AM 725 Views
I suspect so as well snoopcester - 23/03/2010 12:32:00 PM 816 Views
Well, the thing is, "American" is PURELY a culture, not a race. Joel - 23/03/2010 01:55:59 PM 934 Views
That's part of what I was thinking Artsapat - 23/03/2010 07:50:19 AM 1052 Views
Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view. Tim - 23/03/2010 09:24:23 AM 718 Views
Agreed snoopcester - 23/03/2010 10:21:59 AM 747 Views
Some people are like that, yes, but at least it isn't the "accepted" media position. Yet. *NM* Tim - 23/03/2010 11:01:47 AM 378 Views
Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race. Joel - 23/03/2010 11:51:06 AM 963 Views
I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted. Tim - 23/03/2010 02:33:34 PM 683 Views
perhaps not as default... LadyLorraine - 23/03/2010 03:08:19 PM 750 Views
The term encompasses listeners, performers and presenters. Joel - 23/03/2010 04:42:55 PM 772 Views
So it's really not about skin color any more, right? Aeryn - 23/03/2010 09:12:20 PM 806 Views
it's racist and unacceptable. Aeryn - 23/03/2010 09:07:10 PM 845 Views
