Just because you don’t listen to it doesn’t mean only twitter girls like it. My mom is a college professor and she’s obsessed with Kpop. Broaden your horizons. There’s more to the world than just black and white people. I'm not black nor white You are meshing kpop with Asian people as if it was the same thing. It is not. You are coming with the racial stereotypes, not me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are coming with the racial stereotypes, not me. I used Kpop as an example because it’s currently the most popular genre whether you like it or not. Don’t get me started on the countless critically acclaimed musicians from India, Japan, Thailand etc that don’t even get a chance to exhibit their talent.

DiskoBaby 1,929 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 9 minutes ago, Mr S said: I agree on paper it looks bad. But my point is, the bias in the genre of music rather than the color of the skin. Nobody is gonna do well with hip hop regardless of their skin color for the reasons I mentioned already. I'm not saying thats right, but that is the way it is. The Grammys have ALWAYS preferred safe/traditional. It's even the progresive rock stars who were leading the way in the 70s/80s were ignored too. They were not safe. When black artists make safe music, they do well. The Grammys need younger voters who are more in tune to progressive sounds. That is the issue. It all just goes to show the voters need to be replaced by younger people who understand music today. They're winners don't represent current popular music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, all 4 of those artists have won in the big categories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterPaws 2,726 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Based on numbers alone, you should be arguing that the Grammys are sexist instead of racist (remember that year NO women won in the main categories even though there were some strong contenders?). Almost half of the top 10 most awarded artists in Grammy history are black, yet only a couple are women. Even though we sure as hell know a ****-ton of talented female artists. Many who get snubbed.

The Grammys received a lot of controversy last year for sexist allegations. Lorde refused to show up because of that. I agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
