Ok its not racism but it is separation and when separation is enfoced against the will of another it is then segregation and segregation is supposed to be a bad thing isn't it?
Why does everything always have to be seperated out into little neat boxes - to paraphrase the late, great John Peel (who claimed the Oldham Tinkers "come whaom to thi childer" as one of his all time favourite recordings) - where's the dividing line between folk/world music and all the other music - all music is folk/world music - its played by folk in the world isn't it?
