    There’s a little discussion about this in microtonal communities.

    It's not just music, it's literally everything. Cuisines, namings of so-called "continents", art, literature, science, etc.

        All modern western "-ologys" came about within the last 400 years as a result of wealth subsidizing intellectual pursuits in europe. First the wealth was from the Black Death, then from the Americas and then from coal.

        As such, literally every study of everything ever is polluted to the brim with eurocope because they've shoehorned it in. Europe isn't a continent, modern medicine isn't "western medicine" and also homeopathy is traditional western medicine, the Aryans were brown, whites aren't Caucasian, Americans aren't Indian, "Yersinia pestis" should be called "Shibasa buboe", etc etc, too many to list.

        I'm just making that comment in the context of "Music theory is racist", yes it is but only because everything is racist, because it's all funded by a singular group of people that lucked out with having the American continents located virtually next door.
