Lewis, you wouldn't understand racism b/c you likely don't know many people who have TRULY had to deal with it, like during the Civil Rights movement HERE in the US.
The graffiti in itself was not racist, the way they portrayed Lil Mama could be taken as racist.
As for this, I agree with Morey.

You can't fight ignorance with more ignorance. There are stereotypes against girls and you know it. But pointing out that she IS a girl, and IS amazing at guitar, he was proving the stereotypes wrong and hoping to surprise people. It wouldn't be right to just act like they're equal and never acknowledge when a girl does something that's fricking amazing, because it surprises people and she should therefore be acknowledged. If these stereotypes are to go away, things like this need to brought to people's attention, verses acting like everything's ok and never doing things like this. If we do that, things will never change.
Oh, and everything Morey said.

Anyone can play that if they knw how to press the right string on the right fret and bend the string a little to make that vibrato effect. It's all a matter of practice.

the one thing that is MOSTLY correct is that "It's all a matter of practice" ... but absolutely NOT anyone can play that. thing is, basically what you've said is that if someone practices enough, they'll be able to play that, which is true. what is NOT true is that "anyone can play that"
it's kind of a redundant statement y'know
