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

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.

Isn't it a bit GAY of you to observe a strictly male wombat who has a penis but not a vagina? Stern Smile
