Cultural Perspective

From a Facebook quiz, which purports to determine What Color Are You?:

3. What type of music do you like to listen
to?
Miley Cyrus
Jazz
Mariah Carey
Beethoven
50 cents [sic]
Britney Spears
Madonna
Ocean waves

Holy shit. Now, it's a fool who throws a fit every time something dumb is posted onto Facebook, but this really gives me pause. Given eight categories, four are dedicated to what can loosely be called pop divas, one to classical, one to jazz, and one to hip-hop (I think anybody who cared to contemplate it for a couple of seconds would find lots more variation between Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck, or between Beethoven and Bach, or between 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, than between Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears*); and lastly, New Age/White Noise outgains a little genre called, umm, "rock and roll," 1-0. Also shut out: country and western, anything from south of the Rio Grande, anything from anywhere white people don't originate from.

Now if the quiz purported to explain What Color Of Lip Gloss Are You? or What Color Of Nail Polish Are You? or What Grade Did Your Brain Stop Functioning In? then I would understand. But the quiz's title provokes general appeal, then sourly disappoints. I mean, does anybody score black on this thing?

* No, I have not listened to enough MC and BS to support this claim, and I might be surprised. Still: OMG.
