Way to follow up ignorance with ignorance. Race and culture are not the same thing.

And it's not even a valid point to try to make. Natural talent transcends culture, race and geography. You could practice fastidiously in any country, in any culture, and still not be as good as a natural musician who never practices; this applies to any number of different human endeavors.

The more accurate comment would be, "I hate musical prodigies, they are better than me." To which the general response is, "Duh." Bringing race into it is unnecessary and just asking for trouble.
