"I outgrew this whiteboy mess years ago - how come Salon doesn't cover all the amazing REAL music that comes from the rest of the world? How come they never cover acts like Tinariwen or Amadou & Mariam or Manu Chao? I guess their progressivism is only skin (color) deep."
Nothing's more annoying than someone trying to show how deep they are by claiming to have "outgrown" a kind of music that a lot of people clearly enjoy. Especially when you call it "whiteboy" music. Good for you for being so superior!
And then to demand coverage of the only "real" music in the world, which is everything you personally like? When the very thesis of the article itself is that there was a subtle racism in British rock during the 80's and 90's?
Good god, what snobbery.
