Subject: RE: Review: World music - a white middle class fraud
Well, if I were looking for (black) rap music, I wouldn't look in the world music section of a record shop, whereas if I were looking for (white) Norwegian fiddle music, I definitely would. Er...., so this proves conclusively that "world music" is a racist term!?????

As for saying "how about just labelling it music", that's a bit like going to the greengrocer's and asking him "Can I have a vegetable, please."
