Race and hearing

I read in Time about a study where asians picked up high frequencies more than low frequencies, which made me wonder if this explains a preference for high pitched string and flute instruments.  Perhaps black people are at the opposite spectrum, with heavy bass and drums.  White people could be in the middle somewhere with guitars. 

I also believe J-pop and video game music is more popular in Japan than in the US because of a preference for higher pitched music, while Americans would rather listen to Nirvana or Green Day. 

They pick those frequencies because that's what they hear the most. 3 cheers for culture and environment :D
