It sort of makes me think of wealthy people saying “money doesn’t matter to me!”

That’s why I was skeptic when I saw who made this thread (LT isn’t exactly known for respecting people who aren’t skin-toned just like him, but you get roasted and called entitled every time you call him out on his nonsense). But where Glastonbury’s concerned skin colour’s neither here nor there. I’m going to guess that the average black person would rather attend a(n) Africa Oye/Notting-Hill motive and that’s why there’s more obvious black attraction in those circles but seriously, Glastonbury’s open to anyone. The reason less black people are there is probably because less black people (compared to other races) are into indie pop and all the other stuff that tends to get played there. As a game of prerogative that’s more-than fair. Either way no-one’s excluding anyone from going anywhere. It’s just not up the league-park of a sizeable demographic of people who just happen to be black and unless someone can explain how Glastonbury sets out to racially-exclude people that should really be the end of it. Not everything’s about the colour of someone’s skin.
