Recognizing that Classical Music has implied White Supremacy for centuries is hard for those that study the art form. In fact, that correlating The Mets continued programming of dead white men to the rise of White Supremacist tendencies in America is not a far stretch is starting to become apparent to those that follow and review the companys season announcements.
Of course Italian Opera traditions are rich and are the backbone for many composers, but when an American institution, founded on the grounds

It’s not white supremacy, it’s just part of European culture. Some people just don’t get it.
If you are white, you are supremacist, simple as that.
Reverse racism has arrived.
Libtards and progressives seeking to destroy history via division (which they tout as diversity) and overt and covert racism and bigotry.
The cancer of liberalism and progressivism spreads onward. Perhaps another dose of ‘kemo’ is needed to purge this disease.
Some of the greatest appreciation for and training in classical music these days is found in East Asia. When they find out about this, I guess they'll go back to that atonal traditional stuff. /s
That guy’s “conducting” was hilarious.
Well I for one can’t wait to hear stirring African arias and those catchy Congolese concertos!
No, wait....
Whites are the New N*****s.
Can’t argue with you.
Cultural genocide.
The left is systematically destroying Western Culture.
Real life:
Let the music rise or fall on its own merit. Which is better, the symphonies of Mozart, Bach of Beethoven or the works of modern composers that sound like a discordant string of random notes?
[German-born Emile Berliner invented the microphone. Anytime I see someone non-European holding a microphone, I’m going to yell “cultural appropriation,” and rip it out of their hands.]
God has given each of us the ability to sing and make music. Music was created to worship and praise God. Racism hits a sour note and is reflected in its music.
Simple solution: If they/you don’t like classical music, change the channel or station. Nobody is forcing you to listen.
Unlike the garbage deemed music of today such as rap, hip hop, etc., classical music has been with us for centuries, leave it alone.
God also gave us common sense, which is sorely used/lacking these days.
Depravity is the new normal in America. Only GOD can turn it around.
This has to be the dumbest, most moronic thing written in proper English that I have encountered in a month of sundays
Like a Japanese cowboy
or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin’ late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers ‘cause somethin’ ain’t right

And why are there so few minorities in the classical music business? It’s not like actual talent and drive to excel would be squashed. I guess that anything White people are known to excel at, but minorities eschew, are targets for the “White Privilege is killing us” crowd - they never suggest that minorities should work harder to excel - they always suggest taking the excellence out of excellence and dumbing things down so minorities can get some glory w/o doing the work....says all that needs to be said about them.
Only a racist could really care race he was.
The great classical composers were white, and are now dead. It’s too late to change them into something else.
Or, is the issue that classical music lovers should listen to more rap and hip-hop? Good luck with that!
I'd worry more about the needles in a quilting bee, myself.
