Do you see white rappers as a privileged class in hip hop or as a minority and why?

I would say that white rappers are a minority class in hip-hop. White rappers have been criticized

for all time. If they succeed in the music industry, they are accused of benefiting from white

privilege. White rappers are less sensitive to the racial injustices inherent in the hip-hop culture

of black artists.
