Not only that, there's also the fact that your average white indie male will be convinced that the only way to protect themselves from accusations of being racist is by buying and embracing hip hop, as if it's the only music made by black people. See also blues. Or as if racism only concerns black people as such. |

That's the tricky one for me. There is an underlying racism within a lot of the indie scene but there's also plenty of white people perfectly happy to listen to a Luther Vandross CD and who would never consider listening to a rock record, but who'd go mental if their daughter started dating a black guy. I'm not saying that people's cultural choices have nothing to do with their political ones but I certainly don't think they're reducible to them.

At the risk of sounding like Griffin - you know, because it's really important that SYG doesn't notice my inherent racism - I don't think a music made largely by white people for a white audience necessarily has anything to do with race-relations. There's a lot of people who live in entirely white areas, who can be forgiven for not memorising Buju Banton lyrics or being able to speak Lingala.

Yeah, listening to music made by black people is certainly not an indication of an indivdual's politcs and anti-racist stance in many cases. It's the same as when people marry, say, a Chinese person and still hold dodgy views when it comes to immigration and things like that. |

Quite, I reckon you're far more likely to find a potential BNP voter flicking through the RnB section at an HMV in somewhere like Barking (assuming Barking has an HMV) than you are the Heavy Metal one.
