Travis Scott might have the whitest fan base in rap
Exactly. I think people see the word rapper and automatically think of Hood, hard-core gangster. That's not Travis at all.
He is 100% all party-boy lifestyle. He's not a gangster, not does he pretend to be. He raps about partying, doing drugs, having sex with women, and having money. He's basically a modern-day rockstar.

I wonder how much the police backed down during the earlier stampede, due to feared backlash from our President's Administration

Well most of the concertgoers last night were white, so you're on record stating the same, the media will make this a "white people are evil" thing, right?
Not only that, but Pearl Jam does have a concert rush/crush incident on their record (2000 Roskilde Festival, 9 people killed) and I'm not seeing any article online that made it a "race" issue for Pearl Jam.
(That HBO Woodstock 99 documentary was already a bad documentary...now it's giving fuel to people who want to resort to whataboutism for this incident.)

“diverse” in my post was relative to what most people think when they see that shite went down at a rap concert. In other words, this crowd was “diverse” because it was mostly white and middle class
seriously...I watched a few videos from the event while on the can, all I see is suburban white kids

Suffocation is the cause.
So did they die with suffocation or from suffocation?

Probably because it was in Denmark.
Where, in 2000, almost every single person was white.

Im betting it’ll come out that more people died due to a bad batch of drugs than actual trampling/suffocation type stuff

I fail to see what point you're making.

Yeah the Hillsborough was really bad.
It wasn’t until recently the police admitted they were in the wrong and tried to cover up their mistakes.
They blamed it on drunk fans when it was their incompetence that led to this.

I'm not surprised.

Hell I'm surprised 90% of the deaths aren't classified as covid related !

Yep, it was a really terrible handling of events all the way around. Since cameras were there filming the contest, it was all caught on video or film. It took a while to get to the truth.
Where it differs from the Scott situation, is that 12 hours earlier these folks in Houston knew they had problems and did nothing about it.
Lawsuits a plenty.

So wouldn’t that be on security?
If conditions are so bad security withdrew from the engagement, it stands a to reason the show shouldn't have gone on.

What the hell is a 10 year old doing at a Travis Scott concert?

I understand that but how would security not shoulder some of the blame here? It was there job to run the entrances

But you're not making any sense.
The point at play is that
a) Some people are making this a racial issue.
b) There is evidence that concert rush/crush incidents occur across racial groups, and therefore, this is not a racial thing.
c) People from part a) retort "Oh, well, that HBO Woodstock Documentary made it a racial thing when it was white people. If this had happened at a Pearl Jam concert, white people would have been blamed."
d) It's correctly pointed out that this did happen at a Pearl Jam concert and that no one made it a race issue then.
And you're response is "Well, that Pearl Jam concert was 95 percent white people. That's probably the reason it wasn't made a racial thing back then."
I'm just not understanding the point you're trying to make with the observation that the 2000 Roskilde Festival was (probably) 95 percent white.

The video by that Shane dude who was at the concert and saw 10 dead people on the ground. Chilling.

Why can’t a 10 year old and parents be at a Travis Scott show?

Because they couldn't control the crowd, they withdrew for safety. I don't blame them a bit, the crowds became instantly unmanageable.
The concert never should have occurred. This aint that hard.
