Yeah my point is that thinking of it as fetishizing black culture is a very narrow view of a much more universal human behavior, where people like whatever they like without bothering to filter it by who found out about it first, and business people maks a buck out of any and every trend no matter where it came from.

What you're saying just isn't true, though, or at least doesn't explain the sheer fascination of contemporary white americans with mimicking every aspect of black culture

People have enjoyed mimicking each other the human race began. Things that originate in one culture often have broad appeal [shrug]. I wouldn't call it "sheer fascination" but whatever.
