TO THE EDITOR:
I think that it is outrageous to say that the feelings about Fabolous coming to perform for Homecoming are extremely biased (“Outrage over Fabolous performance is biased,” Oct. 30).
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and to accuse people of bias because of their taste in music is absurd.
If someone doesn’t like hip-hop, and they happen to be white, it does not make them a racist. If someone doesn’t like country music, and they happen to be black, it also does not make them a racist.
Speaking out because you don’t get to see one of your favorite bands perform at your school is normal. Completely normal.
Everyone complaining about the issue will probably forget about it in a day or two. So get over it.
And to say that previous Homecoming performances have been known and expected to be a joke is downright offensive.
Last year, the Avett Brothers performed at UNC for Homecoming, and that was a life-changing concert for me. The Avett Brothers are one of the best live bands in decades, hands down, no matter what genre of music your preference is.
They are awesome, and nowhere close to a joke.
