It's absolutley ridiculous how you think the UK is racist. If you actually knew anything about the UK you would know that you can't say or do anything without being up in court against discrimation acts or racial allegations.
Black people have just as much oppurtunities as white people in the UK. Alexandra Burke won the X factor the other year - she was black. Leona lewis was mixed race. JLS? Tinie Tempah? Taio Cruz?
And as for Adele, that comment was ridicolous. In what way is she trying to recreate urban culture singing ballads?

Urban culture being the operative word here. In the UK, it is a multi-cultural society. There is black people, asian people, polish people, white british, traveller. All there is each of each ethnicity and race in each social class. There is pretty much equal amounts of white people living in poverty as there is black. Whereas in America, it is mainly black people living in poverty and in the 'ghettos'. So why should white people not talk about having a rough life, in an URBAN COMMUNITY if this is what they have experienced? Isn't this was eminem does - he is white. And he is probably the most successful rapper of this generation. Not because he is white, so is more marketable - because he has more talent! Simple!
Don't pull the racism card on the UK, because we have that many laws and policies in place there is no room to be racist in a proffessional setting.
Get your facts right!
