Who knew that everyday when I sit down and engrave film scores for the
live-to-picture and historical archiving projects, I'm actually practicing
white supremacy.
Thank god we have radical leftist 'progressives' to make us aware of these
things!

Staff members within the University of Oxford's music department have
deemed sheet music "colonialist" and have suggested ways to "decolonize"
the curriculum.
Professors said that music notation has not "shaken off its connection to
its colonial past" and that not rebranding it would be a "slap in the face"
for students of color, according to documents reviewed by the British
outlet The Telegraph.
The same faculty also reportedly questioned whether the current curriculum
was complicit in "white supremacy," pointing to the program's focus on
"white European music from the slave period"-- composers like Mozart and
Beethoven.
The professors further suggested that certain classical music skills-- like
playing the piano and conducting orchestral arrangements-- ought not to be
required because they structurally center "white European music" and cause
"students of color great distress".
