Political Correctness Gone Mad

They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

My point is
that MASSIVE amounts of music are of black origin so why do they only recognise the ones that are currently prominantly socially popular with black 'yoof'? I.e Rap, Hip hop, R&B
(Which on another note IS NOT RHYTHM AND BLUES - STOP CALLING IT R&B. Give it it's own name or is it just like everything else associated with 'that' area of the industry where 'artists' just 'remix' what's gone before them?)
