[lbo-talk] White trash

[Arash]

Woj:
PS.  The car radio blasting is not exclusively a "n-word thing" - I see
the "white trash" doing that a lot too.  I see it mainly as the case of
typical "US boorishness and arrogance" - since one does not see much of
that behavior outside the US (e.g. in Europe or in Africa).

In a discussion of rap music a few months back you made similar points about
rap's appeal having to do with the US culture of arrogance and therefore
having little appeal else where in the world:

Ironically, (c)rap is virtually unknown in Africa.

I just wanted to point out that this statement is totatly baseless.

www.africanhiphop.com, google for more examples.

This music seems to have a wide cross-cultural appeal.
