Just so people will know their ethnicity?


An ad for a musical group Black Violin was just on TV. As one might assume, the group is two black guys who play violin. A search shows the two are considered hip-hop.

You know, not once was Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys ever introduced as “That white band.”

And, ethnicity is an invention.
