That is laughable and a ridiculous thing to say (yes I said that). I was not being snarky at all. The OP uses the word "extraordinary how white the audience is in racially diverse London." That statement suggests there is something wrong with the Mac fans that attended because they were not the same percentage of racial make up of people living in London. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on a message board before. It reminds me of the extreme political correctness following the 9/11 attacks on New York. The firefighters who took the American flag from a boat raised the flag. Its a famous statue now. But remember the extreme political correctness of some who demanded the statute not truly represent the actual men on that day.... they questioned and demanded the firefighters be changed to an Asian man and an African American woman to properly represent New York population. Its very silly but sometimes I forget there are children and teenagers who post on message boards. But your post is out of line calling me snarky.

Contrary to what you state, the OP did NOT just ask about Mac fan diversity. The OP made negative connotations (extraordinary) that the crowd did not properly represent London. No concert at any city accurately reflects the population. I saw the Mac in Miami. Miami-Dade county is 73% Hispanic. Most people attending where not Hispanic. The concert did not equally represent the population and no one found that bad or extraordinary. And its silly to think that. Nothing snarky about that. Not sure why you start throwing personal insults instead of contributing to the board.
Its a very sad comment about society where racial balance is demanded everywhere including a Fleetwood Mac concert in London. Would it be the perfect world to sell concert tickets to promote racial diversity at concerts?
I sure hope not
