Im Guessing its probably somthing to do with the fact that the places where trance are popular... the Majority of people are white...

and those of Black or other races prefer to listen to other Genres they can relate with people in.

or maybe im off my head talking crap... but it made sense to me...

Black gay guys pretty much invented house.

Maybe a bit of social pressure.

I can easily imagine a black guy/girl listening to trance (or other electronica) being abandoned by his/her so called friends who are all wanabe-gangsters because he/she doesn't go all gangsta like he/she is supposed to do.
