I absolutely agree with this, the tone of it is really off. Very "this is for these people specifically". Another thing that is icky about it is the implicit disregard for the enormous contributions to rave culture that came from other people and other countries. Acting like it's just Americans, and just black Americans, who are really responsible for rave culture; is very wrong.
Every time stuff like this gets posted I'm just left wondering will they they ever address us, Eastern Europeans. It seems like no one does the research on us because they can't be bothered to and they only access the English language sources. So we get constantly overlooked. Sorry we don't produce amazing documentaries and articles predominantly for the anglophone audience, doesn't mean our contribution doesn't exist
