People claiming that because there is a white guy singing a country song on a plinth surrounded by blacks is racially insensitive. What do you think Jow Forums?

>black people in a country band
How is this racist?

From a eurovision fan website:
>However, we, as Americans, felt uncomfortable with the presentation. Here is Waylon, a white guy, on a plinth, looking down on four black guys. He points at them occasionally but never engages or interacts with them. And he never moves off that plinth. His backing vocalist is never on camera at all. There are two reasons why this bothered us. First, if you know anything about the American South, you will understand that the stage picture is insensitive to historical and ongoing issues of racial injustice. And that tension is amplified because he is singing a country song. Showing a bit of racial diversity would have made his point without the problematic optics.

Personally I liked the performance. The dancing was a bit jarring but at least it was different.

Opgekankerd met dat gezeur altijd

I'm just surprised how they got an entire drumkit sound out of 1 drum

I was immpressed when the whole band was playing w/o touching their instrument

Perhaps that's why their backing singer was never on camera

What's the point of Eurovision if every country is going to sing generic crap in English rather than showcasing their own language and culture?

I predicted this. What would he thinking? A white dood and four niggers jumping around him.

>>However, we, as Americans
Fuck off, amerilards
