There's a peculiar blog called stuffwhitepeoplelike.com . This blogger pokes fun at the tastes of white people in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
A recent post discusses classical music, and has gotten over 200 replies so far, including one by yours truly. Supposedly, people who go to orchestra concerts and the opera etc, don't really go because they like it, but because it's a "white" thing to do, because they like to make themselves look "cultured" and"educated". (I'm paraphrasing, sort of).
Yes, this is a tongue-in-cheek website, but some of the responses show unbelievable ignorance about classical music on the part of people who know little or nothing about it. Many of those who responded seem to take what the blogger wrote seriously. Check it out for yourself. I responded by saying that while I realize that the blogger is basically kidding, that if audiences didn't really enjoy concerts, they would have stopped going long ago, and all our orchestras and opera companies would have gone out of business.
Some professional musicians actually did respond to defend classical music. Good for them.
