It finally happened! Now it's the turn of classical music to be the new politically incorrect content! 😂

It's not only about movies. The University of Oxford considers that classical music is a symbol of white supremacy and it's taking away from music curriculums.

I guess they'll replace it with hip-hop.

• Professors set to reform music courses to move away from the classic repertoire
• Staff argued curriculum focuses on 'white European music from slave period'
• It is thought that music writing will also be reformed to be more inclusive

Soon in your Beethoven CDs!! It's gonna be fun when tracks start with a warning about classical music toxicity and lack of inclusivity! 😂

That does not sound like fun to me... It sounds quite sad...If I find a CD like that in a public library, I won't be taking it out...

I appreciate European art music (which people generally call "classical") and I have a lot of it in my collection. However, Western Europe is not the only civilization on Earth, and plenty of other cultures have their own "classical" high-culture musical traditions, and it's a shame that they have come to be greatly overshadowed by the European tradition.
