What utter and complete b****cks from this unnamed GUEST/troll. Racism is synoymous with race hatred isn't it? So divididing up records into smaller boxes and keeping them apart would be more racist, surely.

Just because someone doesn't like a particular kind of music is no reason to visit this forum to tell us, is it? I fail to see how anyone who appreciates music at all can say 'I don't like world music', which is far too varied to be lumped together like this. As people have repeatedly pointed out, it's only a record industry convenience.

Now I know that the record industry capitalist bosses don't have the welfare of the whole world at heart, but some people in that industry are passionately interested in music.

What about all the white artists who come under the World Music label - Balkan, Klezmer, Polka, Tango, Musette. How much time has this troll spent looking through browser boxes in UK record shops - by the spelling of 'color' I'd guess not at lot.
