^ Yes, I 've read your post well and then voice my opinion. I was saying that marketing does not make the author's point any less valid (even though I disagree with the author). Suppose it was marketed, they can still have the same reactions and the author can still make the claim that Canadians are being close-minded. The fact that something is promoted or not, bears little of how open someone is. Suppose J-pop was highly promoted in Canada, there can still be people there being close-minded to the music. I can say that everything you are saying is 100% true but that's besides the author's point. I too can talk about marketing all I want but that really belongs in another thread. I'm not disagreeing with you, marketing is a factor of what people are exposed to, but that's different from the essence of the subject.
