There are a lot more white people than black people ( ![darh2](images/smilies/darh2.gif) ), and going to a concert doesn't make you a stan. I've never been to a Janet concert.
I mean the forum-going, troll-dragging kind of stan. I don't think I've ever encountered a white person online who really stans for Beyonce. Nobody whose race I knew, at least.

Extrachapstick for example, and myself being a half breed. Plus there are tons of white stans all over BW.

I don't think ExtraChapstick is white and I thought you identified as black
I believe there are white stans on BW. I've never been on it though.

It doesn't matter what I identify as. Plenty of men identify themselves as women and vice versa. ![Angelo](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/angelo_zps911317d1.gif)
Extrachapstick isn't black, good enough.

With my music taste, music knows no color, gender, religion, or sexual identity. What makes me like any artist first and foremost, is their personality (Makes things easier to like such people as Britney, Tamia, and Beyonce). I can't stan for someone who is anything short of sweet and down-to-earth, because I am not here for someone with a diva/ego mentality. It's not attractive nor is it the business.
My preference is personality, talent, and a presence about oneself. As an African-American female, I adore Britney and have grown up with the girl over the past 12 years. The admiration I have for her is unmatched by any musician I may follow, which happens to be more than what people think. I do know people who stan partly because of a person's race, but my family always raised me to be open-minded when it comes to such things because we fought to hard to be where we are, only replicate "their" (no pun intended) behavior. I think for the majority of people, it's about either identifying with the artist or about preference.

No but since I am black I am exposed to more black artist than other ethnicity. Like a latino would stan for JLo of Shakira because they are exposed more to them and their music is for the latino community. Same with Bey. Where I grew up....Britney isn't that important, but Beyoncé, Usher, RKelly etc...worshiped.

I said I hadn't seen white stans so it isn't good enough ![Angelo](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/angelo_zps911317d1.gif) When I say white I mean white. The kind of gay who would normally be stanning for GaGa or Britney.

I'm white and I love me some Nicki, not to mention Rih. :heart:
Drake, Kanye, Wayne, Kudi, and Wiz are dope too.

No one would, and R&B singers are the perfect example. There are more white people in the world, so if you only have support from black people when half of them aren't interest in your music because of age and the other half are not legally buying it you won't sell much. You have to appeal to all different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities.

First of all Beyonce stans have class, and most of the dragging comes from the core anyway, our core is black as night just like Britneys is white as snow. But there are white stans who drag, log on to Bwboard.net if you want some examples.

Hmm... I'll give you a half point for that one. She's definitely a close call. I just don't think she stans for anyone in particular.

Should I sign up? ![Angelo](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/angelo_zps911317d1.gif) I probably wouldn't even comment because I wouldn't want to be branded a troll.

Nope I'm black and I listen to black artists, white artists, asian artist, whatever. I only stan for Beyonce and Ayumi Hamasaki though. ![Alexz](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ec20fb7f.gif) But simply listening to more artists that you identify with in whatever way (race, gender, beliefs, w/e) wouldn't necessarily make you racist or sexist or any kind of bigot.
