A new, accepting culture

I was actually somewhat relieved when I started reading "What is the 'black' in black popular culture?"  The previous articles we've read always spoke about culture in a pretentious way, like the culture we have now isn't good enough.  Postmodernism was seen as pointless and without meaning, and pop music was degraded by countless theorists.  Our modern culture was constantly bashed.
But as culture has changed it has become more diverse.  Hall states that this kind of culture is, "Quite in opposition to the blindness and hostility that European high culture evidenced on the whole of ethnic difference"  Now, we are more in tune with ethnicity, sex, and race.  In the same way black culture is becoming more evident, so is lesbian and gay culture, and feminism.
Within "Jeaning" by Fiske" he wrote about how jeans represented a sense of freedom.  Regardless of gender, age, religion, and education, everyone seemed to own and wear a pair of jeans.
I think theorists in the past have failed to make note of an important and wonderful element of pop culture today: we are accepting of everyone.  We aren't as discriminatory as past culture has been, and I believe that is a very beautiful thing.
