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.

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 688 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 704 Views
I was thinking the same thing as Rebekah - 23/03/2010 07:15:51 AM 747 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 731 Views
It would not float here in the US - 22/03/2010 10:07:08 PM 743 Views
Agreed. - 23/03/2010 05:36:14 AM 897 Views
Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM 740 Views
It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 AM 982 Views

Nice term, if a bit clumsy - 23/03/2010 11:10:34 AM 699 Views
The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think. - 23/03/2010 11:29:06 AM 741 Views
I suspect so as well - 23/03/2010 12:32:00 PM 835 Views
Well, the thing is, "American" is PURELY a culture, not a race. - 23/03/2010 01:55:59 PM 952 Views
That's part of what I was thinking - 23/03/2010 07:50:19 AM 1067 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 731 Views
Agreed - 23/03/2010 10:21:59 AM 763 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 979 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 696 Views
perhaps not as default... - 23/03/2010 03:08:19 PM 767 Views
The term encompasses listeners, performers and presenters. - 23/03/2010 04:42:55 PM 789 Views
So it's really not about skin color any more, right? - 23/03/2010 09:12:20 PM 823 Views
it's racist and unacceptable. - 23/03/2010 09:07:10 PM 861 Views
