For the most part the same can be said about any music even metal. You can't say there aren't a group of metal bands that all sound the same with the same type of lyrics/subject matter etc.. etc.. as stated in your post....
why do you think minorities are less receptive towards extreme metal?

^ Of course there are! Especially in death and black metal where the subject matter is pretty much written in stone to some degree.
People seem to judge genres they don't like by the worst bands in the genre, and the ones they do like by the best bands in the genre. I guess that makes sense.
To me, genres are like ethnicities. They're much more useful for describing groups of people than for judging them,

I'm one of those 25% in the NY area and to tell you truth I have not been to a metal show in years and went to my first one in July to see Emperor and was quite surprised to see fellow hispanics there. When I was going to shows I was usually the only one who was hispanic at the shows or one of the very very few (maybe 2 or 3 of us) but after seeing more at the Emperor show it seems that metal is growing in Latin America (and i saw this when i visited Costa Rica where my family is from). And when they immigrate to NY (or U.S.) they get their fellow hispanics into metal as well and that's why you see more at Metal shows here in NY.

Another thing I like about Toronto metal shows is that there always seems to be a high % of women in attendance even compared to mainstream pop-rock shows. They're not fucking around either, lots of them are usually right up front headbanging with the guys!

Nah I pretty much hate the majority of "white" people.... and yes I'm white. The things European countries have done to people of other cultures is fucking disgusting and IMO can never be forgiven. Its really quite sad how many cultures we have torn apart.

Blaming the white descendents of the people who did these things is one of the fucking stupidest things one could possibly do.

I do know lots of annoying Jews, but also some very, very nice ones. As usual, its never that simple, and anyone who thinks otherwise is likely a little on the simple side themselves

Ironically, the descendants of these formerly oppressed races are far better off now than if the oppression didn't happen
Do you honestly think Africa and India are in a better state now than they would have been without european intervention?
Its not a matter of blame, if I became rich by stealing all your money and then was able to pass my high standard of living on to my children while you continued to languish in poverty the injustice wouldn't die with me.

I am mostly disgusted with the hideous injustices that have been done by the English unto other countries. They are the ones responsible for a majority of the injustices of western europe, which have spanned the entire globe. And yes I fucking hate them, mostly, for they appear to have a lack of decency about anything, and are more stuck in their ways than any group of people on the planet.
and of course they are responsible for Metal Paddy

Lets see, the Jews now have an entire country because of the Holocaust, African Americans obtain affirmative action and government, educational and medical benefits because of their history of slavery, Africa and developing countries gets billions of dollars in aid in foreign and UN assistance. Yes, they continue to languish in poverty partly because of European oppression, but formally children of oppressed heritage born into these countries have far better opportunities than common migrants have.

The Portuguese were equally, if not more oppressive to the lands they colonized. But yeah, the British and the Portuguese rank at the top.I am mostly disgusted with the hideous injustices that have been done by the English unto other countries.
