It may not be racsism I agree but what it is is in your face exclusivism. [not sure if that's a word]. I could care less if this whole topic stemmed from some Slate article. I've never heard of Slate. All I know is I tuned into a show that I thought would be facinating and thought provoking,a show called Portland's Music scene. The title sounds all inclusive does it not??
Are you telling me that there is no [zero,zip,none] "Minority Music" here in Portland that merits being included in a discussion of Portland's Music Scene?
I apologise about playing the race card but what the hell am I left to think here?
As to the statistics you quote, I don't think that's relevant here. If we base our decisions to objectively discuss the music scene here on racial demographics, aren't we just digging a metaphorical hole and filling it up again?

I find it facinating that everything I'm listening to Right Now on this topic "Portlands Music Scene" is absolutely geared towards white music. Why not be honest and call this topic Portlands White Music Scene? Who are you trying to represent here???
Why must everything be so segregated???
Cant you at least TRY to be more inclusive in who you talk about or invite to partake in your interviews?
