You're right, music should be color blind. The genres pretty much merged in the 80's, but people still separate music by race. Mariah is as much R&B as any full-blooded black person. The fact that she doesn't have predominantly black features is held against her and it's wrong (and dumb).<br /><br />As for Asians, you're probably right. As many Asians as there are in America, they don't seem to have much of a representation when it comes to anything. Why is it so difficult for everyone to be included in "The Melting Pot?" Sandra Oh can only play so many roles on TV. :)Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-82032668768187822302011-05-27T12:51:45.731-05:002011-05-27T12:51:45.731-05:00OH also - when I was in college, I took a TV and A...OH also - when I was in college, I took a TV and American Culture class and I learned that you're more likely to see an extra terrestrial on TV than an Asian person!

Part of me wants to keep it this way, but at the same time, I think it'd be fun with the right group of smartasses with me.<br /><br />Maybe it has to be a group function? Is that what I'm doing wrong? Or is it the lack of alcohol? Both?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993699573170596587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-32514780777884103532011-05-22T20:24:55.579-05:002011-05-22T20:24:55.579-05:00Zany, that sounds like a party that I can get with...Zany, that sounds like a party that I can get with regularly.
