There are definitely elements of racism rooted in Classical music. Classical music is not something that was historically accessible to the masses. Minorities have not always been allowed to participate in it the same way White people were allowed to. with a quick internet search you can find out more from more legitimate sources.

It's interesting because it's the first time I've thought about it (not a big listener of classical music) - but whether or not classical music is racist isn't really why I bought that one up.

The group seems to be sidetracked with every single cause, a subcommittee for every minority group... which, to me, takes away from the main purpose of a Union of Musicians - getting paid/treated properly (as a whole).

Which just reminds me of how this webpage gets sidetracked from the main issue. The main issue should be: listening in on conversations is creepy.
