Calling me ignorant and then ignoring me? Fine. I'm replying anyway. Racism is disliking and discriminating against someone based on their skin colour, religion or culture. Something people of all races are capable of and something you seem to be doing. You're dismissing others opinions based on their skin colour…

Black people are also capable of racism though same as 'plain ole white people' Perhaps she identifies as an ethnic minority and has suffered other types of discrimination throughout her life that you are not aware of? Maybe, she finds it offensive that you ignore her roots and just lump her in with the 'plain ole…

because Jewish people throughout history have suffered oppression and discrimination but you're classing us all as ignorant white people. I quite often heard it said 'not all Germans are bad' and Germany as a country was careful to let it be known that not all Germans were nazis so you're point is mute. Therefore I…

Not denying the bias as I do agree it is there but Predator 2 is a brilliant film....

I can't recommend this enough. I don't understand how referring to white people as a collective as if we are all the same is classed as acceptable on this site. Saying not all white people are racist is not a way of silencing people its about saying 'I'm not racist'. If I said 'all men are sexist' and a progressive…

I make that 8 naked ones and 2 dressed ones?
Its still a majority. My problem isn't with nudity at all, I'd just hate it for them to feel pressured into doing it.
Aspiring female pop musicians shouldn't have to feel that to sell records they'd have to get naked. If they want to thats fine and a whole other story.

I meant mainstream female performers. I didn't put that across properly.

Thanks god someone else thought that was offensive, I thought I was the only one who wondered since when has acting 'without modesty' had anything to do with being black?

My point is I think most are pressured though. Taylor swift probably gets away with it as shes aimed at the wholesome market,Florence and the machine as shes there for the 'indie-pop-quirky' market and Adele (unfortunately) due to her size. It seems like unless you have another niche market to go for most female…

They tend to be in the minority though. My main concern would be for the less talented performers i.e Miley, where I feel they might be pressured as otherwise lets be honest nobody is going to pay attention to her shitty record.

yay for liberalism!

Youve named 4 some of whom aren't that mainstream. I'm not a fan of pop music but just off the top of my head; Britney Spears, Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley, lady gaga, Katy perry, Pussy cat dolls, Girls Aloud, Nicki Minaj...

I don't remember that at all, I don't think it made the news over here.

Exactly, words can't describe how much I love JK Rowling and hate David Cameron and the rest of the Tory Party.

I've not heard of Janelle Monae ( I'm in the UK) its just sad how it seems like a requirement for the job.

I commented before the update, I'd only read the page six article and I didn't get any slut shame vibes from what was written there. Obviously the slate article adds another dimension.

This!
People go on about slut shaming ect whenever its brought up but I really think its an issue when 90 percent of female performers wear next to nothing.

because you seem to think its normal for female popstars to show their genitals to the world when it shouldn't be and if you don't then why get snarky with me and try and insinuate I said vaginas were gross? I think you'll find I didn't but I was trying to say that I don't want to see male performers genitals either…

Yeah every time I listen to the Beatles I can't help but think if only John had worn a mankini and I could see a bit of his balls they'd have been a lot more successful.
Or maybe it used to be possible to make music without showing the world your private parts and for a man it still is. When was the last time you seen…

Eh since when has Miley had anything to do with being black? Also whats stereo typically 'white' music. Since when has music had a race?
I think its more an observation on modern day pop music as opposed to days gone by when most female popstars of all races, Stevie Nicks, Diana Ross ect.. managed to keep most of…
