When you claim that a certain race or group of people have low IQs, then it is racist.

The average IQs of people from certain countries are lower than other countries. In fact, if the average person in some of these countries was examined here, they'd be considered disabled. Nothing racist about that.

They should take up a hobby like playing backgammon or join the local bridge club. Or maybe try pickleball. Dungeons and Dragons. Something to get their mind off that man.

I mentioned backgammon because that's a game I actually learned to play recently.

I've left a few Music Education groups over some of these discussions. While there are works I won't program because of their origins, there are others (like Jingle Bells) that have almost no chance of having their origins end up at the forefront (or middle, or back) of public thought.

Some people are just crazy.

Care to cite a couple of examples?

Sure thing.
Trombone players: It’s time to bury Henry Fillmore’s “Lassus Trombone.”

Lassus Trombone was part of a suite of works by Henry Fillmore known as "The Cullu'd Family", with each song within named in some variation.

The larger band community, upon research and recommendation, has also decided that performance of Robert Russell Bennett's "Suite of Old American Dances" be performed in absentia of the "Cakewalk" movement because of its origins and meaning.

99.999% of people do not even know origins. .001 or whatever will be offended of anything. Hence where we are in modern day.

These are works that are most often performed in spaces where the performers readily have access to the origins, or have found them out through required research. So it's not about the audience so much as it's about the performers as well.

Maybe one day we'll get to the point where people will see performing this music as a way to take it back. The Israeli Philharmonic performed music of Wagner in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as a way of taking the narrative to their strength instead of the composer's beliefs.

Sadly this is true. I have read peer reviewed medical studies about the effects of millenia of inbreeding in the arab countries and it was ...wow.

Every birth defect, mental disability, autoimmune disorder...you name it...many at 10x the rates in the west or more. Several far more prevalent than that. Turns out, having kids with your sister or 1st cousin over and over and over is a poor decision.

Some cultures are just inferior for obvious reasons, inbreeding, incest, child sacrifice; rape, chattel slavery etc
