Except they really do, especially in country music, which is a very white and straight industry, look at the hate Lil Nas X got, is it really a coincidence that he is black and gay, after producing the biggest ‘country’ track in decades?

Old Town Road was country rap, and put such a big spotlight on country music, but was getting tonnes and tonnes of abuse from country fans, not ‘I don’t like your song’ but full on racist and homophobic abuse, it’s an industry mainly based in Texas, which is a massively homophobic place, with homophobic laws still in place, so it’s not a surprise that women of colour are feeling like this.

I'll wait and see how an unadulterated country song does by a black artist before leaping to conclusions , rather than one mixed with rap.

Women of colour are being discriminated against by most industries, I don't find this surprising.
