I did watch it when it originally came out - on the day it came out, I think. It has White Supremacy in the title, and that means that the vast majority won't spend 45 minutes watching a video, they'll just take a headline and go with it. I have seen a number of people say that music theory is white supremacist (both before the release of the video and after it), and I think that someone who has as many subscribers as Adam Neely should be a little more careful and a little less clickbaity with video titles. I felt at the time he was trying to ride on the wave of a movement to decry music theory as something that was explicitly White Supremacist, and I don't agree with that sentiment. I appreciate that there are plenty of people who will say that I've been brainwashed by the establishment, or that I'm a White Supremacist for holding that view, but I'd say that's not the case. Saying that it doesn't encompass some traditions of music is one thing (and broadly correct, as I already said), but that's not the same as saying that it's white supremacist. Saying 'music theory is incomplete', or that 'music theory ignores other cultures', etc. would be fair enough, although again I think it would be one-sided. I'd be interested to see if the teaching in other cultures (such as, for instance Indian) encompasses Western Classical tradition (i.e. based around a 12-note octave instead of a 22 note one) in a similar manner - I would imagine that it doesn't, as it concentrates on the idiom that it describes. And I'm certainly not a music theory specialist, but I believe that attempts have been made to make a standard method of incorporating microtonality into western music notation. For the record, I spent nearly 20 years teaching in UK schools, and the music curriculum is most definitely not exclusionary - a wide range of traditions are covered in detail, and the roots of popular music in 'The West' are traced back to their origins, often leading pupils to make some interesting wider discoveries about culture and history. Music is not taught in a way that the Western Classical tradition is an exclusionary yardstick (although at A-level some elements of it are covered in some detail) And this has been the case since I was at school in the 80s, so this isn't down to any current changes.
