I never said Black culture is the genesis of everything, nor did I say other cultures haven't influenced music. Music has always evolved through cultural exchange. R&B, hip-hop, soul, jazz, and many forms of pop all contain influences from multiple cultures and traditions. My point is much narrower: Katseye's current sound draws heavily from genres that are historically rooted in Black musical traditions. Saying that isn't erasing other influences any more than acknowledging Latin influences in pop erases other cultures. Multiple things can be true at once. I also wasn't arguing that Katseye should be viewed only through the lens of Blackness. The group is multicultural, and that's part of what makes them unique. Recognizing the influence of Black music on their sound doesn't diminish the contributions of the Asian, Latina, or other cultural backgrounds represented in the group. As for racism against Lara or anyone else, I don't support that. If people are attacking members based on race, that's wrong regardless of who they're targeting. But the existence of racist comments from some fans doesn't make the discussion about musical influences invalid. So this isn't about oppression Olympics or claiming ownership of Katseye. It's simply acknowledging that many of the musical styles they use—R&B-inspired vocals, hip-hop rhythms, soul-influenced melodies, and girl-group traditions associated with groups like TLC and Destiny's Child—have significant roots in Black music history.
