Politics aside, it's kind of crazy how the the track went from a free
download to selling on discogs for over $100. Nice one Eamonn!

Quoting Eamonn Doyle <d...@d1.ie>:
I can't think of any good reason for a European male to otherise
themselves and present as a minority woman. Why? This is
exoticizing the other, plain and simple.
What about an African male / South American male ? Japanese male ?
He is Dutch - Surinamese as it happens. A minority woman ? Where ?
In whose eyes ?
Eamonn / D1
There is already a dearth of actual women and minorities in the
music game, the last thing we need is dudes pretending to be them.
I'm sure he's a super nice guy, but it's beside the point.

How do you know it was for no reason ?
He’s not a wanker actually.
FYI - 'What’s a girl to do' was originally released by us on D1
Recordings in 2004.
