both, Hispanic = pertaining to countries connected to Spain. Black isn't country specific, really. Neither is white, but using Caucasian as a race is dumb because it's a bull**** term

The term "Caucasian race" was coined by the German philosopher Christoph Meiners in his The Outline of History of Mankind (1785).[4] In Meiners's unique racial classification, there were only two racial divisions (Rassen): Caucasians and Mongolians. These terms were used as a collective representation of individuals he personally regarded as either good looking or less attractive, based solely on facial appearance. For example, he considered Germans and Tatars more attractive, and thus Caucasian, while he found Jews, Slavs and Native Americans less attractive, and thus Mongolian.[5]
The concept of a Caucasian race or Varietas Caucasia linked to "white race" was further developed around in the 1790s by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German professor of medicine.[6] Blumenbach named it after the Caucasian peoples (from the Southern Caucasus region), whom he considered to be the archetype for the grouping.

Clearly these aren't totally white countries.

I guess I meant that the motion to not perform in these states it's still awesome even if it is just Stevie Wonder doing it!

It wasn't really the talent or the personalities that made the difference to me, just how widespread the fanbases are and the number of artists.

I really should not have started this thread, because it turned into something way more political than I intended it to turn. It's my fault, for assuming members here could try to keep the topic on music but if any of the mods are feeling lock-happy, feel free to lock this thread I started.

I just want to talk about music.
