Tell those kids at your school, that Lina, a Chinese, love this Jazz musics, and even I do not sing or read musics, but I love Nat King Cole, and Louis Armstrong….Believe it or not, even though I am a Chinese I hate Chinese movies (because too much fighting and nonsense), I don’t listen to their musics, and I like only 2-3 kind of Chinese food….So, this is nothing to do with skin color, but something to do with taste, and free will and choice….right?

Nothing. Just ask Killswitch Engage and Sevendust.

In highschool I would get teased by my friends for listening to Nirvana, Soundgarden and Aerosmith. But before long, I had my best friend at the time singing this song with me like everyday http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/Aerosmith/Janie39s-Got-A-Gun–2156853
You just have to be yourself. I’m 32 now and I primarily listen to rock and i’ve rubbed off on those same friends who now listen to it too. I even influenced my youngest brother who’s 18. One trip to Cedar Point and he was hooked on rock music. My mother asked me what I did to him, but now she’s even listening to a little of it. Chris Daughtry is all really, but she used to listen to Hall & Oats, Foreigner back when I was a child so she actually forgot that she might have influenced me.
Moral is to just do you and don’t give a damn about what people think.

I am an Asian guy who likes heavy metal and hard rock. So how about that?
Anyway, people shouldn’t be surprised since rock was created by black people during the 1950s.

There is nothing wrong with it, I see black dudes at AC/DC concerts all the time. There is something really primal about AC/DC’s Rock for everybody. Back in the 1980′s in Atlanta, GA. there was a really, really, great, black rock band called, “Mother’s Finest”. The only white person in the group was the lead guitarist. How about “Santana”, that rock band was mostly black/hispanic, I think the drummer and keyboard player were white.
