Should anyone her care what racial grouping I come from or what they may intentionally or unintentionally say to offend me in reference to my racial grouping?

Should I also supply a list of what these might be?

Should everyone else posting here also supply a list?

There are real problems facing all of us - we can make special cases for our particular racial groupings and demand that others make some sort of effort to try and make-up for some of the terrible things of the past and present. I feel this approach - no matter how understandable - simply binds us all to the past and will not allow any of us to move on to find better ways of living together.

The banjo is just an instrument - a tool if you like - and the music it produces and how we judge this music is a matter of taste. I suggest it is less what music that has been played upon it but what we all now choose to play.
