Is iTunes Racist?

Yes, it is to a certain extent.  How?  Well you see, it tends to classify everything that comes out of the US, England, Australia and some parts of Europe as "Pop", "Alternative", "Electronica" or whatever.  The musical output from the REST of the world get labelled "World Music" which, in all honesty, is a bit ignorant.  It may come as a surprise to some,  but the rest of the world can do our sorts of music as well as we can.  Labelling everything as "World Music" is like labelling Bob Dylan and Daft Punk as the same genre.  It is just not the case.
