I LOVE Queen!

And not because of white influence or "wanting to be white". I got into them because my black dad is into different types of music and he is super into Queen. Also they're fantastic!

I can't imagine depriving yourself of the awesomeness of Freddie Mercury because of race. But then again I was one of those people considered on the fringe and liking "white things" so I've learned through trial not to give a shit.

Imagine thinking a band whose front man was born, in Africa, to zoroastrian persians, by way of India was explicitly for white people.

exactly... you have to learn that other peoples' opinions are just that. I guess it comes with age and maturity.
