As a person who loves music so much. I believe that no matter what music we listen too, It is the best way for anyone in the world to connect without rascism or dicrimination.
What do think?

Research has indicated that human beings interpret a given set of musical tones in similar ways, regardless of their specific cultures, genders, races, etc.
"The Third Music," Ann Ree Colton, a composer, has somewhat to say about this. Also, Kurt Leland, a composer, has written "Music and the Soul: A Listener's Guide to Achieving Transcendent Musical Experiences," David Tame has written "The Secret Power of Music: The Transformation of Self and Society through Musical Energy," O. M. Aivanhov has written "Creation: Artistic and Spiritual," and Dr. Arthur Abell has written "Talks with Great Composers" (he recorded his conversations on creativity and inspiration with his friend Johannes Brahms and others of that "circle").

I'm not sure I agree. As I much as I love music, there is some music I just can NOT connect with. I'm sure that it's the same for other people, otherwise we would all enjoy the same music. Each type of music is, in its own way, a language.
There is also music that's out there whose lyrics are decisively connected to racism, discrimination and other things.
I think people are just too different to have music be a universal language.

I agree with you entirely. Music allows people to connect in ways that would otherwise be impossible.
I have an incredible bond with several of my friends who are in orchestra with me. Playing together has done that.
Most of my memories of my friends and boyfriend are connected with music. Music that was playing in the background while we sat around the bonfire, watched the stars, or just sat around and laughed together.
When I went to Germany for an orchestra/choir trip, we played a Jewish song at one of our concerts. Though we didn't speak a word of German or Hebrew, and they were unable to talk to us, many of the older people in the audience left the concert in tears. While language can be a barrier, music is understood by all.
I could go on and on for so much longer. I'll refrain, however, and spare you all from having to listen to me ramble about how music is by far the most wonderful thing in this world.

Mathematics is actually the true universal language. Music isnt, im afraid. The problem with calling music a universal language is that what may be considered music to some, is not to others. With mathematics for example 2 is always 2. No matter what anyone says.

I agree, you can relate an dconnect through music even if you don't understand or speak the language. I think it is imppossible not to feel music whether the feeling is bad or good. Music can make or break your mood.

i can agree with that
music does seem to be universal, and when people are together listening to music they aren't inclined to fuss and fight as much as when they are trying to reach a (political) consensus verbally

Yes, I agree because not everyone understands spanish, or chinese, or german, or japanese, or italian. But everyone understands music. It may not be your type of music, but you still understand it.
