I also thought the problem is put in a slightly stupid way, but... I asked myself, If I were a Japanese top class musician living in Europe and I applied to a top orchestra, how would I feel being denied not because I'm not good enough, but because of a unspoken reasoning based on some very vague concepts of cultural / racial specificity that come from early 20th century writers who paved the way for fascism (like Spengler or Evola)?

Obviously racism of the "We don't take your kind here" is abhorrent and ridiculous; my problem was with the author's assertion that the racial/gender makeup of the orchestra, taken solely by itself, is by definition "explicit" racism.


Yes that part was ridiculous, for the first paragraphs I thought it was going to be something retarded. But later there was some actual argument in favour of the accusation.

Ah, OK.  Shame the author couldn't just get to what was relevant.

why, what did he do?

That's what I was wondering too...I guess that either the mods already took care of whatever it is or Henry and Colin are playing tricks on our minds. Wink


He just had a massively inappropriate avatar

And his sig is a PM from Tony R threatening to ban him. What was that Radiohead thread about?

he screencap'd a picture of the top trending artists on PA, of which radiohead was the most popular. He edited it by adding text  pointing to 'Radiohead' "Seriously?!?!"...or something like that. And he added that to his thread. It was dumb.

He'd done similar stuff to Björk when she was added.
