Folk music is not defined by race or ethnicity. It is a genre that encompasses traditional and typically acoustic music that is passed down through generations within a family or a community. Folk music can be found in various cultures all over the world. While some folk music has been performed and popularized by white artists, the genre is not exclusive to white people. The idea that folk music is white is a stereotype based on the visibility of certain folk musicians, and it oversimplifies the diverse and rich history of folk music.
