This is an European contest. Where most people look white.

if their Mottto is ‘celebrate diversity’ then I expect to see some diversity because they did definitely not celebrate that 

#+ europe is a diverse continent and not just different shades of white bread  #+ i am german i know about european dynamics

are you sure you know what you think you know because it sounds to me you know maybe something about… three or four major western european countries, if that, and that’s it. 

@lordhellebore​ @thequeensclock​ can y’all take this because i’m cringing this is like norton’s comment dissing ukraine’s presenters all over again

Sorry, I’m not dealing with this utter idiocy tonight, and from someone from my country no less. The fact alone they’re not even MENTIONING the fucking ROMA singer from Hungary while clamouring for “some diversity” … too stupid, can’t cope. 

Tumblr, the only group of people that thinks 40 people from the same 2 countries is diverse as long as they have different skin colors, whereas there is supposedly no diversity in 40 people from 40 different cultures, who each represent entire nations

@farronheit You need to understand how people view the word diversity is different from your view. 

Westerners need to learn how diversity works in Eastern Europe vs Western Europe because all I’m seeing are a bunch of ethnocentric people who know nothing about Eastern Europe except maybe fur hats and vodka; yet, these people want to criticize a country, a culture, a heritage they know nothing of while feeling self-righteous enough to do so.

Diversity means representing your country in your native language: Belarus, France, and Italy. 

Diversity means being Romani and singing in your Romani, native language: Hungary 

Diversity means expanding your music genre: Romania and Ukraine 

Diversity means sexuality: Montenegro 

Diversity means including ethnic minorities who are oppressed: Timur, a Tatar, one of the hosts for Ukraine. 

Diversity means having a song win that is about the very oppression of your people: Jamala, 1994, sung in a Tatar language. 

Diversity is about Asian representation: Cyprus, Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria’s is half-Kazakhstani. 

Diversity is about showcasing your heritage with your native colours and culture: Armenia 

And if Russia performed, then diversity is about showing disabled women. 

Diversity is about having an Eastern European country win: Ukraine and then having a Southern European country win: Portugal (Look up P.I.G.S) 

There is more than one way of diversed and it is about time people pulled their enthnocentric heads out of their ass and realize that diversity is MORE THAN JUST SKIN COLOUR  and stop being ETHNOCENTRIC FOOLS. 

And like kolovratsk said, if you can’t see the diversity of 40 countries, 40 ethnicities, 40 cultures…Then the problem lies with you. You can’t see queer, native languages, Tatar, Asian, Kazakhstani, music, as diverse…Then the problem is you.

Well, dude, I feel like winning Eurovision and telling the world how much you despise “disposable music, fast food music” defining it as empty and made for commercial pubblic, while your music is the only one with a meaning it’s not exactly a genious move.

What does it even mean “Bring music back”? Music is music, and shitting on other people’s works or tastes just because they don’t reflect yours is a dick move.

YOU COULD HAVE HAD GABBANI EUROPE. BUT YOU VOTED PORTUGAL, if I see you complanining about him I’m going to point in your face and laugh.

Don’t worry, it will come biting them in the ass next year. I mean, they’ll have to hear this song at least twice or thrice during next contest, so ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯

I already want to cry.
Tbh, amo i tuoi tag ❤ che poi te pare?

MAMMA MIA IO QUELLI CHE HANNO L’ATTITUDINE DA HOLIER THAN THOU PROPRIO NON LI SOPPORTO.
Okay mi dispiace che hai problemi al cuore, ma anche – stica???? Cosa ce ne frega???? Non siamo mica a pomeriggio cinque o a c’è posta per te e non c’è mica Barbara d’Urso da commuovere con la tua storia strappalacrime, va bene l’empatia ma questo non è nè il luogo nè il momento adatto. E poi che bisogno c’era di fare quel commento? Era necessario? In meno di dieci parole è riuscito a offendere gli ultimi cinquant’anni di Eurovision e nessuno ha detto niente?
Ma lo sapeva in che posto stava andando prima di arrivare a Kiev o ce l’hanno catapultato così dal nulla? Tutti a premiare la diversità e le culture europee e a divertirsi e poi arriva questo che oggi c’è e domani boh a fare la predica e dire serenamente che la sua musica è migliore perchè è very profonda, much significativa, such sentimento e tutto il resto è solo chiacchiere e distintivo? #macaga
Che poi me lo deve spiegare il discorso sulla musica fast food che non l’ho mica capito. La musica è musica, e puoi preferire un genere piuttosto che un altro, ma quanto devi essere arrogante per avere la faccia da schiaffi di dire “music is not about fireworks, it’s time to change that, let’s bring real music back" MA REAL MUSIC COSA???? MA CHI SEI TU PER DECIDERLO? SEI NATO IERI E DOMANI MA CHI TI RICORDA, MA COSA VUOI. CHE FRA CINQUANT’ANNI CANTERANNO ANCORA BARBIE GIRL DEGLI AQUA E TU NON SARAI PIÙ NESSUNO. IO BOH VERAMENTE RIMANGO SENZA PAROLE.
Sì sono ancora piuttosto amareggiata nel caso non si fosse ancora capito. E pensa che a me la canzone di Gabbani manco piaceva all’inizio.

Ascolta mi dispiace che hai problemi di cuore ma anche – stica???? Non siamo mica a c’è posta per te o pomeriggio cinque, queste cose possono far commuovere Barbara D’Urso. Se hai la faccia di culo di dirle ad alta voce in diretta sul palco dell’Eurovision io la scimmia di Gabbani te la tiro in testa. In dieci parole è riuscito a insultare gli ultimi cinquant’anni di Eurovision e nessuno gli ha detto niente? Ma poi dove sarebbe lui senza la musica “fast food”? MA POI CHE CACCHIO VUOL DIRE, NON HO MAI SENTITO NESSUNO PARLARE COSI, CICCIO OGGI SEI FAMOSO DOMANI NON TI RICORDA NESSUNO MENTRE TUTTI ANCORA OGGI CANTANO BARBIE GIRL DEGLI AQUA QUINDI CHI È IL VINCITORE MMMMH??
