I think it’s like basketball. Once brothers get into it they probably net net better. Look at Jazz. The white brain and skull are too small to handle complex real time processing to be particularly good. I don’t think anybody disagree that the average jazz musician a bit better musician than the average Chinese debutant in a US music school too.

It was just more popular with western Europeans and their descendants. Nowadays “art music” is an incredibly niche field that attracts a certain type of person. You can think of cultural reasons for its popularity and unpopularity I guess, but ultimately I think it comes down to happenstance.

The art world has clearly defined rules? I don’t think so.
I don’t know, these conservatories/comps have very rigorous rules. Then again, you can’t really equate dat shit to “art”
I think the number of brilliant African Americans in jazz speaks to me that there can be plenty of strong black classical musicians if it was more culturally relevant to them
In fact, since jazz musicians perform their own works and improvisations, it is easy to say that they are much more creative than the average classical musician.
I mean look at John Coltrane, his music is mindblowing

Why not then just avoid art & musc all together, since it has some ambiguity. Why not stick to hard science, math, medicine. Also, maybe architecture is a better compromise.
Also, not many Joos have dat much money. A lot of asians in my high school had more money than me (my parents). Had all the latest gadgets and cool clothing, etc.
Actually science, especially biology and medical science, is not as cut and dry as most people would expect. It’s hard to avoid ambiguity unless you want to study pure math or logic.
And I really don’t see a connection with classical music being “rule-based” and it being popular in certain cultures. I think the appeal lies more in the fact that it’s historically been associated with “intellectualism” and the upper class.

I studied biology and I know a thing or two about medicine. Relative to the humanities fields, biology, chemistry are rather straight forward (more so than math, even, which requires abstract thought at the highest levels). For a microbio exam, memorize a bunch of facts and there you go. It just requires the ability to concentrate for extended period of time. Nothing is ever completely straight forward.

Oh. Right!
Also, why do we call them Black? They’re all different shades of brown. And, I’m not white. I’m some shade of beige-ish/pink.
