Euro features are more marketable and desirable to the Western world, so that's why most big artists are white/lightskinned.
The irony is that white people are always trying to look more ethnic.

I didn't say white privilege was a conspiracy. It's everywhere but the fact that there's people here on atrl who refuse to see it/accept it in the entertainment industry
. Think of all the Iggy stans you've argued with who can't see that
.
I mentioned blacks and Latinos in the biz who are either naturally light skinned or bleached. Sammy Sosa a Dominican baseball player (bleached). Pitbull (light skinned) no where close to being the best Latino rapper but you swear they'll pick an ethnic looking person to represent us.
Enrique Iglesias is European (Spaniard), I don't see people rushing to collab or being featured with him (besides Latin artists). Or any other European. If anything Adele and Sam are the UK IT girls because of their sales and talent. Ditto with Disclosure and Daft Punk. But who the **** wants to collab with One Direction (European)? Also my faves The Cardigans are Swedes, no one here is checking for them. So your argument about the Western world preferring Euro acts = to most big acts being white or light skinned makes no sense. Tell me about all the major Latino acts not looking ethnic. Explain that.
