If Elvis Presley, Vanilla Ice, Jay Kay were black would they have all been treated differently by the industry, press, fans..
100% agree. Not sure that relates to the racial make up of an audience though which is more to do with the general mass appeal of the artist and where they're playing. If artists of any race are generally popular in a majority white place the audience will likely be mostly white.

It appears convenient that when success came, privilege/amnesia around race and origin of black music too easily forgotten.
