Definition

Techno racial segregation is the idea of dividing people based on their race within the techno music scene. This concept suggests that certain races or ethnicities are more dominant or have exclusive spaces in the genre, creating divisions and exclusionary practices.

There are varying viewpoints on whether techno racial segregation exists or to what extent it manifests within the community. Some argue that techno music is a melting pot that brings people from diverse backgrounds together, promoting inclusivity and breaking down racial barriers.

However, others argue that there are instances where racial segregation can be observed within the techno music scene. This may include discriminatory door policies at clubs or events, limited representation of certain racial groups in promotional material, or different treatment and opportunities for artists and DJs based on their race.

It is important to address and challenge any form of racial segregation within the techno music scene, as well as in any other aspect of society. Promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunities for all individuals should be the focus to ensure a more equitable and inclusive community.
