For those who have commented above: neither our paper, nor the original article published on the Head Count blog that generated our analysis, was about increasing the diversity of the fanbase. The original article (https://www.headcount.org/music-and-activism/phish-scene-white-lets-talk/) is filled with specific examples from phans of color who have experienced shows differently. And the instinct to reflexively jump in and defend the scene and attack those who are raising questions about it is the exact type of reaction we document and discuss in our article, so maybe it's worth engaging a bit more deeply with the content rather than being so dismissive.
