Chess, Sweden, and Diversity

Is there a debate here?

That’s a question without an answer.
How can anyone know “what if” ?

All I’ll say on the matter is: after being stuck in a car and forced to listen to K-pop and J-pop and anime songs for hours on end, the conclusion is that the Beatles and ABBA and 1.000.000 times better.

And there will be no discussion on this conclusion. Should anyone dare suggest otherwise, they’re being scrapped from humanity and civilization.

No they’re not.
ABBA, the Beatles and Jan Vermeer are Europe’s best artists.
Followed by Springsteen (honory European artists), Carravaggio, Rembrandt, Pink Floyd, Samual L. jackson (who doesn’t know he’s a white European), Picasso and Leonardo Davinci.

It’s really quite a white European list.

The point is, honey, that K-pop sucks the peanuts out of 💩 through a straw.

Edit:
Western classical music… oh… well, yeah… I dunno. If it ain’t ABBA, it ain’t worth listening to.

The ignorant Duchess seems to not comprehend the difference between Europe (home of enlightenment and all things edible) and America (home of trailer parks and wannabees).

That’s Asian American.

In Europe we have Nena and Rembrandt.

So, take your Asian Tuba players back to Carneggi hall and take that god awful K-pop with you too.

I watch Pink Floyd concerts… that’s classical music to my ears.

Lighten up.

I don’t give a damn whether musicians are Asian or not. It’s not something I care about.

Now, if you want to discuss Asian influence on European art, I’m perfectly willing to discuss Hokusai‘s influence on Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, for example.

But if all you want is aknowledgement that Asians can play chess or musical instruments, find some daft bugger who cares.
Because I’ve never once heard anyone claim Asians can’t play classical music or play chess.

But K-pop does suck.

You are truly obsessed with race and colour. And yes, I've always known that, but sometimes it just needs to be said.

Yeah… like I have ever listened to what a grand master (ridiculous KKK sounding title if ever there was one) had to say about anything other than moving chess pieces around a bloody board.

I don’t ask chess masters their opinions on international politics and I don’t ask taxi drivers their opinions on quantum mechanics.

I’m pretty sure my rigidness of thought forces me to lose out on some great and awe inspiring insights, but it’s a risk I’m more than willing to take.
