Huh? Latinos are not “under represented” in country music.
The genre just isn’t native to our cultures. Latin Americans have their own types of “country” music. Cubans have punto guajiro, for instance. Colombians have vallenato and Mexicans have rancheras.
This is absurd.

This is one of the most absurd entries into the "equity" cannon that I've read.
Hispanics don't top the country music charts for reasons that are similar to why Blacks and Whites don't generally listen to mariachi and cumbia: different cultural preferences — and that's fine!

I didn't get into country music until I lived in rural Virginia for 6 months.
Why? Because, like most Hispanic Americans, I grew up in a big city (Miami) where country music really isn't that popular and my parents didn't listen to it either.
It has nothing to do with "racism."

I don’t say this disparagingly: I sometimes wonder if progressives’ preoccupation with differences is the result of a psychological sensitivity to asymmetry, or a heuristic more common in them.
Because when I see stats like this, I don’t automatically think “injustice.”
