i did this on the megadeth boards and introduce yourself but...

[Heavymetal_Hellmaster]

is there an unwritten rule of metal that says that you have to be white in order to be metal? i'm not attacking white people, all of my friends are white, but there are so many white metalheads that judge me and say racist things to me about being a metalhead because my background is east indian.

 

[Thraxz]

Yes.

No offense.

 

[Erik]

pretty much, sorry

 

[Heavymetal_Hellmaster]

interesting.

 

[Erik]

i mean, there are exceptions

living colour

 

[Thraxz]

[genocide roach]

i think suffocation proves that metal isnt just a white genre

it's more due to the fact that non-whites are afraid of forming bands, and it creates a cycle of people expecting metal bands to be white.

More non-white good bands = more acceptance of non-whites in metal.

 

[Ratatosk]

No one's ever been racist to me apart from Erik

[Pull The Plug]

No, there is no unwritten law. Anybody who agrees with this unwritten law is on auto-wanker mode.

 

[Raffft]

all members of Rudra are of East-Indian decent \m/.

 

[Arrakis]

i don't think so. music is for everyone. i think anyone that discriminates against you and your love of metal for the colour of your skin is probobly more concerned with image than music. bugger them, may they get skin cancer.

 

[The Bringer]

I think music is for everyone but not a lot of people out side of white people like metal.

Erik is more concerned with image, the insult!

 

[skeptik]

As long as you're not black, that's the big problem.

 

[Vital Remains]

i know a black metalhead. I think you should listen to whatever the fuck you want
