Yes, there are undoubtably racist trolls around, and other kinds of troll who seek to politicise everything. Isata earned her award because she’s a superb pianist. It’s as simple as that. I would like to think that she’s pleased to have won it but I doubt that she sees it as ‘one up for the black community’. In fact, that would be an insult to her because it might suggest that she got this award not only for her musical ability but through some kind of ‘affirmative action’.
That you should burden, nay pollute these congratulations by tacking on grandiose but spurious political theories. You say ‘classical music is moving (albeit slowly) away from its long history of male dominated white supremacy towards being more inclusive and accessible to anyone’ you are echoing a canard that would win you a prize – honorary membership of the Society for Politicising Everything White.
