It's your comments about 'oriental people' (a racist term now) but that shows me you are that type who puts people into categories. For you the Thai, Japanese are all: "Those orientals".

You do that same thing with Mary but its called 'Ageism'. "Those Old style'" songs.
Like the 'Orientals' all 'look the same to you' it is the same way with Marys 'old kind'.
The songs all 'sound the same to you'.

I'm not necessarily saying you are a racist (or always a racist) or always an Ageist,
but,
you have that 'mentality' and you go around pre-judging (prejudice) from your own viewpoint as if it were the superior and informed one. 'Ethnocentric' but for music.

Sorry, truth hurts sometimes.
